[Relation of visual evoked potentials to the integral characteristics of cognitive activity in 8- to 9-year-old...

Amplitude and temporal parameters of evoked potentials (EPs) in response to a checkerboard pattern, picture of a house, the Russian word "dom", meaning house, combination of letters "DMO" and a number of other stimuli, correlated with indices of the verbal, nonverbal, and general intelligence as well as with those of the cognitive style "field dependence-independence". Maximum number of statistically significant correlations was found in the course of comparison of integrative cognitive characteristics and parameters of EPs to stimuli with increased semantic complexity. No interhemispheric differences were found in the character of interrelations between cognitive characteristics and parameters of EPs to verbal and spatially structured stimuli.
