Abstract Nineteen adolescents (average age 15 years, 3 months) were tested and retested using a standard 40 target, auditory oddball ERP paradigm across an interval of 1 year, 10 months to determine reliability the components, both in terms intersubject stability score agreement trait (between‐session reliability) versus state (within‐session reliability). Significant was found for N100, P200, P300 latencies ( r = .48, .51, .74, respectively), amplitude .62), supporting as reliable measure, with required group research but not necessarily clinical applications. Discussion examples illustrate application information planning evaluation paradigms.
