Abstract
Longitudinal and cross-sectional event-related potential, EEG power spectral and skin conductance level data were obtained from 138 hyperactive and 60 normal boys. An age-by-diagnosis interaction was found for several measures in the cross-sectional data and for all 3 types of measures in the longitudinal data. Findings emphasize the importance of age in electrophysiological studies of young children and strongly suggest an abnormal maturational process in hyperactive children.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
