A comparative study of acuity tests and pattern evoked potential (EP) criteria was performed on a total of 307 subjects, 214 of them at an age between 2 months post-term and 12 years. All were examined ophthalmologically prior to testing. It was shown that both psychophysical and EP estimated acuity improve in the same way until puberty. From birth to about 6 months a rapid improvement is found. This fast phase can probably be attributed to retinal morphological maturation. During this period a fair estimate of acuity can be obtained by determining the checksize that yields the largest EP; a conclusion of practical importance for screening. The subsequent slow improvement phase, which ends around puberty, is reflected in the development of the waveform of the pattern onset EP. Since it correlates with the growth of a spatial contrast specific component of extrastriate origin in the EP, the slow improvement phase most likely reflects maturation of central processes.
对总共307名受试者进行了视力测试和图形诱发电位（EP）标准的比较研究，其中214名受试者的年龄在足月后2个月至12岁之间。所有受试者在测试前均接受了眼科检查。结果表明，在青春期之前，心理物理学和EP估计的视力以相同方式改善。从出生到大约6个月，视力有快速改善。这个快速阶段可能归因于视网膜形态成熟。在此期间，通过确定产生最大EP的视标大小，可以获得对视敏度的合理估计；这一结论对于筛查具有实际重要性。随后的缓慢改善阶段在青春期左右结束，这反映在图形起始EP波形的发展中。由于它与EP中源于纹外区的空间对比度特定成分的生长相关，因此缓慢改善阶段很可能反映了中枢过程的成熟。
