Summary
Thirty-nine children, 4 - 15 years of age, were evaluated using the Achenbach Chilci Behavior Checklist parent questionnaire to assess behavioral or emotional problems resulting from pre- or perbatd unilateral brain damage, in a study at UCSD School of Medicine, La JoUa, CA. When differences in IQ between brain damaged and control children were excluded from the analysis, results showed no evidence of clinically significant differences on 9 Behavior Problem scales, even when frontal lobes were involved or seizures had occurred, or when RH and LH lesions were analyzed separately.
