Abstract Visual evoked potentials were obtained from 112 subjects (215 eyes) aged 5 to 79 years with fast random stimuli. The stimulus (the presence or absence of the initiation of a reversal) and response (voltage measurements) were used in calculating the first order Wiener kernels to obtain the visual evoked potentials. Five check sizes were used to stimulate each eye. The implicit time of the major negative wave showed a significant increase with age for each check size used. Regression lines for the implicit time vs age data for male subjects were significantly different from those of females. The y-intercepts were lower and the slope of the regression lines were consistently steeper for males. Thus the rate of increase in implicit time was higher in males. The relationship of the amplitude of the major wave to age did not appear to be linear. The data suggested that a second-order polynomial curve might be an appropriate representation of the relationship.
