Abstract

People with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) experience cognitive impairments across lifespan. Multiple studies have correlated cognitive dysfunction to multiple brain regions and networks based on neuroimaging and electroencephalography (EEG) studies. Event-related potentials (ERPs) are brain voltage fluctuations that are time-locked to specific physical or cognitive events, which are scalp-recorded using EEG. By using ERPs, it is possible to noninvasively study different stages of information processing, from perceptual/sensorial to higher cognitive processes, with high temporal resolution and, therefore, can be suggested as biomarkers for ADHD. Thus, in this chapter, we discuss the usefulness of cognitive ERPs in the assessment of cognitive function in people with ADHD across the lifespan. Thus, differences between children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD, as compared to those without ADHD, on both earlier (P50, P100, N100, P200, N200, ERN/Ne) and later (P300, CNV) cognitive ERPs. The final section of this chapter summarizes the main evidence and challenges on the current use of cognitive ERPs as putative markers of cognitive impairment in people with ADHD.
