Resumo

Epilepsy is a health problem of great signifi-cance to which devotes a tremendous amount of human and financial resources. Therefore, it is a need to know this disease and its implications in order to give an adequate medical, psycho-logical, social and educational response to tho-se who have this disorder. Neuropsychological assessment in epilepsy is emerging as a neces-sary tool to help us to understand the cognitive functioning of people with this condition, and effective intervention techniques could be de-veloped thanks to that. Its importance is double in the case of children and adolescents, as they are involved in a learning process and require effective cognitive strategies to achieve the le-vel required in each grade. Traditionally, me-mory has been studied in temporal lobe epilep-sy, but it is little known what happens in other epilepsies. The core objective in this work is to show the different results found in the neurop-sychological assessment of memory in frontal lobe epilepsy so a broad view of the neurops-ychological implications of this disease could be given.
