No significant differences were observed in working memory or delayed visual memory. Effect sizes favoring women in verbal memory were significantly smaller in studies including only patients with temporal lobe epilepsy compared to mixed epilepsy types. The effect size for postsurgical delayed verbal memory was moderated by the side of seizure focus: studies including a greater proportion of patients with left-hemisphere epilepsy showed poorer postsurgical delayed verbal memory.
