Cognitive Brain Event-Related Potentials and Emotion Processing in Maltreated Children.

Pollak, Seth D.; Cicchetti, Dante; Klorman, Rafael; Brumaghim, Joan T.

Child Development, v68 n5 p773-87 Oct 1997

Recorded cognitive event-related potentials from maltreated and nonmaltreated children during presentations of happy, angry, or neutral facial expressions. Found that for nonmaltreated children, the average amplitude of P300 was comparable for responses to happy and neutral expressions. Maltreated children displayed larger P300 amplitude to stimuli when directed to attend to angry rather than happy targets. (Author/KB)
