Highlights• Peak alpha frequency (PAF) is thought to be a more sensitive and reliable measure of alpha band oscillatory activity. • Higher PAF has been associated with better performance on a range of cognitive tasks. • This study examines associations between PAF and non-verbal and verbal cognitive development in young infants aged 12–36 months.
