ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore auditory event-related P300 in children with behavior problems. Methods: 40 children with behavior problems were screened out from a ample of pupils by CBCL and CRT-C 2. The control group was selected from the others matched by age and gender, the rate of case/control was 1:2. The study and control group were assessed by auditory event-related P300 elicited by pure tone stimuli using the oddball paradigm.Results:(1) There was no significant difference in P300 between study and control groups; (2) The P300 latency of mixed problem group were significantly longer than those of controls. (3) The P300 amplitude were significantly negatively correlated with the CBCL score.Conclusion:It is suggested cognitive function deficit of severe behavior problem children.
