Objective:To investigate the feature of Recognition Potential(RP)for eight-year healthy children which is evoked by Chinese character stimulus.Methods: We examined 53 eight-year healthy children with Canadian Stellate Systems 32 Channels Digital EEG and three stimulus of Chinese characters, Korean words, confused Chinese characters, with two patterns(Routine and Fast-flow pattern). While the stimulus information is sent to participants,EEG is recorded simultaneously. RP and event related potentials(P300) are extracted from EEG and analyzed.Results: The latency of RP is earlier than that of P300 for three stimulus. The latency of the Chinese character is the shortest of all, and the latency of confused Chinese characters is longer than that of Korean words. As for two stimulating patterns, there is no difference between Routine and Fast-flow pattern. RP of Chinese character stimulus is most significant at scalp dipole of supra-occiput and sub- occiput than that of others.Conclusion: RP and P300 could be useful for assessing the development of healthy children's cognitive function, especially for some disabilities, such as poor-reading disorder and disturbed maturation of language.
