Missing information: A petit mal seizure is also known as an absence seizure. A person with petit mal seizures may look perfectly fine and be taking in information and then just blank out for a period of time. The person may not realize they had a blank space but in fact they missed whatever occurred in that space that they blanked out. So yes petit mal seizures can affect learning by missing critical information.

Intermittent: The seizures interrupt the patient's life for brief intervals during which he or she may be trying to learn. In that sense, it impairs learning, sort of like sleeping in class for brief moments or not paying attention.
