Abstract

The event-related potentials (ERPs) of 18 extra X males (mean age 18.1 years) were recorded during the course of phonemic and orthographic discrimination tasks. The N2 and P3 latencies and amplitudes of subjects were examined in relation to their verbal and nonverbal intelligence test scores based on assessments at three ages: prior to puberty, during puberty and at sexual maturity. The results indicated that verbal abilities at most test occasions were significantly related to P3 latencies. Nonverbal abilities were largely uncorrelated with ERPs. The findings suggest that the verbal deficits of extra X males are the result of unlateralized individual differences in neural cognitive processing.
