Summary: A new computer‐based method for continuous gauging of momentary, visuomotor coordination under simultaneous EEG control proved both effective and suitable for children. Thirty‐eight patients (age 4–17 years) who had different types of hyper synchronous activity were examined: None of the patients with focal discharges showed significant impairment in the test performance. Slight losses were evident in <3‐s generalized, irregular spike‐wave paroxysms. Deterioration was particularly evident in the bilateral synchronous 3‐Hz spike‐wave series, which lasted >3 s.
