The stability of EEG was examined in infants of depressed (BDI > 16) and non-depressed mothers (BDI < 9) from 3 months to 3 years. Of the 32 infants seen at 3 months, 15 were seen again at 3 years of age. Seven of the eight children who had exhibited right frontal EEG asymmetry as infants still showed that EEG asymmetry pattern at the 3 year visit. Children with right frontal EEG asymmetry at 3 years were observed to be more inhibited during an exploratory play task, and children of depressed versus non-depressed mothers were less empathetic during simulated maternal distress.
对抑郁母亲（贝克抑郁自评量表得分>16）和非抑郁母亲（贝克抑郁自评量表得分<9）的婴儿从3个月至3岁期间的脑电图稳定性进行了检查。在3个月时接受检查的32名婴儿中，有15名在3岁时再次接受检查。8名婴儿期表现出右额叶脑电图不对称的儿童中，有7名在3岁复诊时仍表现出这种脑电图不对称模式。观察发现，3岁时右额叶脑电图不对称的儿童在探索性游戏任务中更内向，抑郁母亲的孩子与非抑郁母亲的孩子相比，在模拟母亲痛苦时更缺乏同理心。
