Maturation of the P3 and concurrent oscillatory processes during adolescence

Developmental trajectories during adolescence may have lasting influence on mental health, social integration and cognitive abilities during adulthood (Kaiser and Gruzelier, 1999; Nuechterlein et al., 2014; Pantelis et al., 2009). Recent studies argue that social and cognitive abilities improve throughout the entire maturational period of life, including adolescence (Amso et al., 2014; Anderson et al., 2001; Blakemore and Choudhury, 2006).An event-related potential measured with the electroencephalogram (EEG), the P3, is suited to investigate maturation of neural processes activated during cognitive tasks (Polich et al., 1990; van Dinteren et al., 2014b).
