    Abstract:
    Psychophysiological research focusing on child development and on child and adolescent psychiatric disorders has provided many important insights. The use of cognitive neuroscience methods along with the assessment of peripheral psychophysiological measures - particularly functional magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalography reflecting brain activity - have advanced our understanding of the physiological basis of many cognitive processes such as attention, memory, learning, and language in the context of child development and psychiatric disorders. These insights are proving increasingly helpful when evaluating and advancing treatment. The following review introduces the reader to psychophysiological and particularly electrophysiological methods widely used in child and adolescent psychiatry research.
