Abstract
Recently, a late positive component (LPCt) with prefrontal dominance was identified in a duration discrimination task as a marker of decision-making processes (Paul et al., 2003). In the present study, LPCt amplitudes and latencies were measured in visual and size discrimination tasks for the purpose of determining the selectivity of this phenomenon. LPCt amplitudes were larger and latencies shorter for longer stimulus pairs, at a time of maximal behavioral performances. Wave amplitudes were also larger for smaller stimuli, but were not directly related to behavioral performances. These results indicate that the LPCt is not specific to temporal discrimination but can reflect more general decision-making processes.
