Summary

Psychophysiological measures, such as late components of the event-related potentials (ERP's) may be applied in clinical nosological research in two different ways; as purely empirical or diagnostic markers and as markers of functional processes. The second application implies that ERP's may be used to increase the theoretical understanding of specific mental processes such as attention, memory and linguistic processes and the degree of impairment of these processes in psychiatric patients. Some examples derived from recent studies of dementia and aging are given of these two applications of ERP's.
