Abstract
Evidence indicates that patterns of frontal EEG asymmetry are associated with temperament and behavior. Results of the current study suggest that children who shift from a right to a left frontal asymmetry are more likely to exhibit higher externalizing behaviors and negative affect and lower effortful control within chaotic environments.
