Statistical analysis (ANOVA) of the response amplitude revealed a significantly (p < 0.01) reduced N1-P1 peak amplitude for the affective stimuli. Although there was a trend for the P1-N2 peak amplitude to be depressed for the affective words, the trend was not significant. The theory is explored that the emotionality of the affective words was sufficiently great to create inhibition (either conscious or unconscious) of the N1-P1 peak by some subjects in response to what they considered socially unacceptable stimuli.
