ABSTRACT

Introduction: The MMN is an Event-Related Potential frequently studied in auditory change detection tasks. Recent work using time frequency measures has proved promising in understanding the neurophysiology behind auditory change detection. These measures, unfortunately, have not been fully studied in children.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the spectrotemporal characteristics of the MMN response using words in healthy Mexicans preschool children.
Method: 20 children (10 boys and 10 girls) of preschool age participated a neuropsychological evaluation and an auditory discrimination task during EEG recording. Event Related Spectral Perturbation (ERSP) and Inter-Trial Coherence (ITC) was obtained for frequent and infrequent trials.
Results: The ERP showed a typical MMN and LDN response. ERSP increases in the theta band corresponded to the auditory change detection, though no differences between boys and girls was found.
Conclusions: In Mexican preschool children, the MMN is like what has been previously reported in adults. However, in contrast to similar studies, sex did not influence the neurophysiological measures. Significance: We established parameters for future research in children using the MMN.
