| Abstract: | The current attacks upon traditional evaluation procedures have motivated seatches for nonbiased testing procedures. Recent advances in computer technology, combined with research findings on electrophysiological (EEG) correlates of brain function, suggest that the large scale use of various computer scored EEG measures in evaluation of children with school learning problems soon may become feasible. The nature of the EEG and of the averaged evoked potential is described, and research relating these to learning disabilities is reviewed. Special attention is given to the Neurometric Test Battery developed by E. Roy John. Implications of electrophysiological measures for the field of school psychology are speculated upon. |
