Evidence has accumulated rapidly to support the hypothesis that neurological anomalies underlie specific forms of learning disability (LD). This article reviews recent studies directed at the electrophysiological assessment of LD children, with emphasis on the brain stem evoked response(BSER) methodology. Child studies appear to indicate that there are significant differences in BSERs between LD and age-matched normal controls. The methodological and statistical differences among these studies, which have clouded the findings and made replication difficult, are reviewed. Improvements in sampling and empirical procedures are suggested, including the use of discriminant analysis to explore BSER asymmetries in LD children. Future inquiry into the measurement and analysis of BSER activity in LD populations is warranted on the basis of these preliminary findings. New information may bring professionals closer to an understanding of the neurological causes of specific subtypes of LD and permit earlier identification of these "at risk" populations.
