Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the hot executive function in children with epilepsy and compare their performance with healthy children taking into account clinical variables of epilepsy. Method: We evaluated 51 children, 17 with Rolandic Epilepsy (RE), 9 with Temporal Epilepsy (TE) and 25 healthy controls. All children were assessed with the Iowa Gabling Task (IGT), the most used instrument to evaluate the decision-making style, and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III) to investigate the intellectual level (estimated IQ). The clinical variables of epilepsy were: age of seizure onset and remission, type of seizure (partial versus generalized), use of AED (none, monotherapy or polytherapy), and seizure lateralization (right, left, and bilateral). Results: No significant differences were found between the three groups. However, when analysing the RE and TE groups, we observed that RE group (µ=-1,44) have lower results than the TE group (µ=5,5). The same was true when comparing the intellectual level of the two groups: the higher the IQ, the better the decision-making style. Conclusion: We conclude that although RE is known as a benign entity, difficulty in decision-making ability may be observed. More studies are necessary to corroborate our findings.
