Author's Response Rolf Verlager (1988). Event-related potentials and cognition: A critique of the context updating hypothesis and an alternative interpretation of P3. BBS 11:343–427.
Toward an integration of P3 research with cognitive neuroscience
In this response, I will first summarize my 1988 argument on
the issue of expectancy. Second, I will re-evaluate that argument in
the light of the findings made by Sommer et al. and by others. Third,
I will describe some other problems with the 1988 views. Fourth, I
will outline the direction in which I feel that a hypothesis on the P3
complex should be pursued further.
