gender and risk for alcohol problems (Stoltenberg et al., 2008). While there was a correlation between P3 amplitude and BIS scores during the gain condition, the lack of correlation during the loss condition in our study may warrant further exploration in similar samples. Interestingly, Bernat et al. (2011) reported that while delta-P3 amplitude was found to be reduced among individuals high in externalizing proneness, theta-FRN (N2) response was unrelated to externalizing. Further studies are needed to establish the relationship between various facets of impulsivity and neurophysiological measures, such as the P3.
