TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Displaced aggression predicts switching deficits in people with temporal lobe epilepsy JO - Epilepsy and behavior A1 - Gul, Amara A1 - Ahmad, Hira SP - 109 EP - 113 VL - 41C IS - N2 - This study examined the relationship between task-switching abilities and displaced aggression in people with temporal lobe epilepsy (PWE). Participants (35 PWE and 35 healthy controls) performed emotion and gender classification switching tasks. People with temporal lobe epilepsy showed larger switch costs than controls. This result reflected task-switching deficits in PWE. People with temporal lobe epilepsy reported higher anger rumination, revenge planning, and behavioral displaced aggression compared with controls. Displaced aggression was a significant predictor of the task switch costs. It is suggested that displaced aggression is a significant marker of task-switching deficits.
