Detection of learning disabilities using the visually evoked cortical potential.
It was proposed that the Visually Evoked Cortical Potential (VECP) could be used to detect learning disabilities. It was found that a comparison of the responses from the two parietal lobes to a checkerboard pattern could provide such a detector. The latency differences had a correlation of .79 with scores on a test of learning disabilities for high school aged children.
