Abstract

Using silent substitution we have measured visually evoked potentials (VEPs) from 4- and 8-week-old infants to L and M cone-isolating stimuli, while the rod response was nulled. Data are shown from six male infants, four of whom were classified as candidates for defective colour vision. These results demonstrate that infants as young as 4 weeks show clear responses to L and M cone-isolating stimuli. This technique may be useful in identifying infants with sex-linked colour deficiencies.
