Abstract
Cognitive assessment is essential for understanding neurodevelopmental disorders in children and adolescents. Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) offer a unique perspective, providing real-time measures of neural activity in response to stimuli. This article reviews the application of ERPs in child and adolescent psychiatry, focusing on attention deficits, language disorders, executive functioning, and emotional processing. ERPs provide valuable insights into the neural underpinnings of cognitive dysfunction, aiding in early diagnosis and personalized intervention strategies. Challenges include standardization and interpretation, but ongoing research holds promise for widespread clinical implementation. Overall, ERPs represent a valuable tool for unravelling cognitive processes in young populations and informing targeted interventions for psychiatric disorders.
