Description

Developmental changes of P300 event related potential were evaluated in healthy 13 children and 19 adults aged from 7 to 29 years old, using 2 pairs of oddball stimuli; non verbal sound (tone burst: TB) pair and verbal sound (VS) pair. In both age groups, P300 was definitely present to the target stimuli and dominant at Pz for both conditions. Peak latency of P300 was significantly longer for VS than TB in both groups. P300 amplitude of child group was higher than that of the adult group. However, there was no difference of P300 amplitude between stimuli conditions. Developmental changes of P300 from each stimulus condition were simulated by a quadratic equation. The age showing the shortest P300 peak latency was younger for TB (20.3 years) than VS (23.6 years). Reduction rate of the peak latency of P300 around 10 years old was more rapid for VS than TB. In conclusion, there was no significant difference of the dominancy of P300 between the two kinds of stimulus condition. We considered that the developmental change of P300 was regulated by the several components of the sound stimuli such as frequency or familiarity.
