The use of EEG and ERP markers for early identification of specific learning disorders in preschool children: A systematic literature review

Current review indicates that EEG and ERP measures have the potential to be used for the early identification of SLDs, revealing biomarkers in spectral patterns, auditory-evoked components, and immature neural connectivity linked to later cognitive deficits. When combined with family, behavioral, and psychological data, the EEG may enhance early assessment. However, few studies, limited age ranges, and methodological inconsistencies highlight major gaps. More systematic, age-specific research is required before these measures can be adopted as reliable preschool screening tools in global clinical practice.
