The objective of this investigation was to determine if auditory middle latency responses (MLR) obtained from children with learning disabilities (LD) differ from those obtained from children without LD. Simultaneous recordings of auditory brainstem and middle latency responses were obtained in both vertex-ipsilateral (V-I) and vertex-contralateral derivations (V-C) in 22 children (11 LD and 11 normal) in the age range of eight to twelve years whose peripheral hearing was within normal limits to bilateral. The results indicate that for specific recording conditions, the latencies of middle latency responses differ significantly between children with LD and a normal group of children.
