      convulsions.
PG  - 820-3
AB  - Psychometric tests were performed on 50 children with a history of febrile 
      convulsions. Twenty-five of these had received daily phenobarbital for a mean of 
      35 months; 25 had received no phenobarbital. The two groups were matched for sex, 
      age at the time of testing, race, and socioeconomic status. The tests used were 
      the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI), the Matching 
      Familiar Figures Test, and the Children's Embedded Figures Test. There were no 
      significant differences in test results between the two groups.
