Abstract

When tested on an inhibition task (three stimulus oddball), adolescents with reading disabilities (RD) exhibited a later N2 on ERP than typically developing controls. In addition, the RD group exhibited greater bilateral frontal peak activity than controls. This may suggest use of more effortful processing in the RD group.
