Abstract
Event-related potentials (ERPs) are records of the electrocortical activity that is evoked by physical stimuli and modulated by psychological processes such as attention, memory, and cognition. Since the mid-1960s, ERP methods have been used to explore the nature of individual differences in both personality and intelligence; often, the same ERP measures and experimental procedures were applied in these inquiries. In this chapter we examine the convergences and distinctions in the application of ERP methods to the study of personality and intelligence. The rationale and strategies guiding the research are briefly noted. In order to highlight the understanding provided by ERP methods, the functional significance of the ERP components relevant to personality and intelligence research is outlined. The ERP components and paradigms that have been most successful in demonstrating consistent or promising findings are illustrated, and the insights that this work offers are discussed.
