“…The auditory P3 has been investigated most often in disorders of the brain and cognitive function, even though its neural generators are not yet fully understood (McCarthy et al, 1989;Knight et al, 1989;Wood, 1984). The P3 has been described in dementia, alcoholism, drug effects, hyperkinesias, Alzheimer's disease, Down's Syndrome, various psychiatric disorders, aging, and aphasia (Goodin et al, 1978;Herning and Jones, 1978;Loiselle et al, 1979;Pfefferbaum et al, 1979;Chayasirisobhom et al, 1985;Diner et al, 1985;Lincoln et al, 1985;Romani et al, 1987;Patterson et al, 1988;Polich and Starr, 1984;Selinger and Prescott, 1989).…”
