Event-Related Potentials in Year-Old Infants: Relations with Emotionality and Cortisol.
Gunnar, Megan R.; Nelson, Charles A.
Child Development, v65 n1 p80-94 Feb 1994
Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded from infants shown sets of familiar faces presented frequently and infrequently, and a set of novel faces presented infrequently, and correlated with infant emotional behavior and cortisol levels. Found that infants scoring higher on the normative ERP factor were more distressed during parent separation and had lower cortisol levels during ERP testing. (MDM)
