    This longitudinal study tracked auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) in children from birth to age 3. Key AEP latencies and amplitudes changed significantly with age, particularly in the first year, showing developmental trends.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Audiology

    Background:

    • Auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) are crucial for assessing auditory pathway development in infants and children.
    • Understanding normative AEP development is essential for identifying potential hearing or neurological impairments early.
    • Longitudinal studies provide valuable insights into developmental trajectories compared to cross-sectional designs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To longitudinally examine the development of auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) in normal children from birth to three years of age.
    • To identify age-related changes in AEP component latencies and amplitudes.
    • To investigate the influence of factors such as sleep stage, sex, and individual differences on AEP development.

    Main Methods:

  • Serial auditory evoked potential (AEP) recordings were obtained from 16 normal children during sleep.
  • Data collection spanned from birth to three years of age using a vertex-mastoid derivation.
  • Regression analyses were performed to assess the relationship between age and various AEP measures (latency, amplitude).

    • Main Results:

    • AEP latencies for components P1, P2, P3, and P3B significantly decreased with age.
    • Amplitudes of P1N1 and N2P3 waves increased with age, with most changes occurring within the first year.
    • Age and sleep state were major contributors to AEP variance; individual differences accounted for substantial unexplained variance.

    Conclusions:

    • Auditory evoked potential (AEP) development shows significant age-related changes in latency and amplitude during the first three years of life.
    • P2 and N2 latencies demonstrated the highest stability over time in both group and individual analyses.
    • Findings align with previous cross-sectional studies, supporting the robust nature of these developmental trends.
