Cognitive Electrophysiology in Socioeconomic Context in Adulthood

Abstract

This dataset contains electroencephalography (EEG) recordings of 127 young adults (18-30 years old), along with retrospective objective and subjective reports of childhood family socioeconomic status (SES), as well as SES indicators in adulthood, such as educational attainment, food security, and home and neighborhood characteristics. The EEG data were recorded during commonly used cognitive electrophysiology tasks that were directly acquired or adapted from the Event-Related Potentials Compendium of Open Resources and Experiments, i.e., ERP CORE. This dataset can be used to address questions of cognitive electrophysiology in the context of childhood and adulthood SES. It can also be used to conduct EEG methodology research, such as investigating the precision and reliability of measurements in diverse samples of young adults. In addition, this dataset includes self-reports of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and can be used to assess the links between ADHD symptomatology and cognitive electrophysiology in young adults from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. The dataset is available on OpenNeuro.
