Event-related potentials (ERPs), which are electrophysiological neural responses time-locked to a stimulus, have become an increasingly common tool in language and communication disorders research. ERPs can provide complementary evidence to behavioral measures as well as unique perspectives on communication disorders. ERPs have distinct advantages of providing precise information about timing of neural processes and can be used in cases where it is difficult to obtain responses from participants, such as infants or individuals who are minimally verbal. However, clinicians and clinician-scientists rarely receive training in how to interpret ERP research. The aim of this review is to provide information that allows readers to better understand, interpret, and evaluate research using ERPs. We focus on research related to communication sciences and disorders and the information that is most relevant to interpreting research articles. We explain what ERPs are and how ERP data are collected, referencing key texts and primary research articles. Potential threats to validity, guidelines for interpreting data, and the pros and cons using of ERPs are discussed. Research in the area of pediatric language disorders is used as a model; common paradigms such as the semantic incongruity N400 and the auditory mismatch negativity are used as tangible examples. With this foundation of understanding ERPs, the state of the field in terms of how ERPs are used and the ways that they may inform the field are discussed. To date, no review article has focused on ERPs as they relate to clinical or communication research. The main contribution of this article is that it provides practical information geared toward understanding ERP research. ERPs offer insights into neural processes supporting communication and can both complement behavior and provide information that behavioral measures cannot. We encourage readers to critically evaluate articles using ERPs, effectively pushing the field forward through increased understanding and rigor.
