visuospatial memory component (t = 1.9, df = 62, p = 0.03). In line with the view that the MTL is less pivotal for intelligence, the full scale Wechsler IQ of the patients fell well within the healthy range of the standard distribution (left mTLE, IQ = 101.7 ± 11.6; right mTLE IQ = 102.4 ± 12.4) and PCA scores of IQ did not differ between both patient groups (t = 0.4, df = 62, p = 0.68).
