Abstract
The latencies in the secondary complex of the VER [visual evoked response] were increased and the amplitudes of waves II and III were increased as compared with normal subjects. Subgroups (2), children with good and poor clinical test scores, did not differ in VER parameters. A spontaneous EEG evaluated as abnormal was present in 45% of the children. These children showed more absence of peaks in both VER complexes and more increased latencies in the primary complex than children with a normal EEG. The VER was a valuable supplement to EEG in demonstrating organic changes in children with learning disorders.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
