Abstract

ABSTRACT Twenty children with serious language problems were investigated with electro‐encephalography (EEG), brain stem response audiometry (BRA), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and brain electric activity mapping (BM) by means of auditory evoked potential focus (AEP) detection. The results were compared with scores on different psychological tests. It was found a rather high incidence of deviant EEG, ABR (auditory brain stem response) and BM (brain map), but the correlations between the neurological variables were positive only for EEG/ABR. Deviant EEG (but not BM and ABR) showed some correlations with psychological dysfunctions. For the cortical lateralization of AEP (BM), insignificant relations in expected direction were found between contralateralization, dichotic difference score and stimuli to right compared to left ear.
