The P300 is a type of event-related potential (ERP) that is associated with cognitive processing and attention. Studies have found that sons and daughters of alcoholics have smaller P300 amplitudes compared to children of non-alcoholic fathers, suggesting deficits in cognitive processing and attention. Theta and alpha waves have not been consistently linked to alcoholism or familial risk for alcoholism. Beta waves are generally associated with arousal and alertness, but there is no evidence that sons of alcoholic fathers have lower than normal rates of beta waves specifically.
