摘要:

Threshold and suprathreshold temporal integration (TI) effects were studied in the crossed and uncrossed human acoustic stapedius reflex. Changes in reflex threshold were compared at four stimulus durations and for six threshold response criteria; suprathreshold effects were similarly compared at four stimulus durations and at five stimulus sound-pressure levels. Our results showed that reflex thresholds were significantly lower for the uncrossed condition and for longer duration stimuli. Both effects were dependent on threshold response criteria. Threshold Ti measurements in both crossed and uncrossed conditions were equivalent at low criterion levels (0%–4%,p>0.05) but were significantly larger in the crossed condition at higher criterion levels (5%–6%,p<0.05). Prominent suprathreshold effects also occurred. The main effect was characterized by significantly larger reflex magnitudes in the uncrossed condition. Duration dependent slope differences in magnitude intensity functions (MIFs) were also observed and were characterized by steeper slopes for longer duration stimuli. Saturation effects and/or intensity-dependent slope decelerations in MIFs were predominant in the uncrossed condition and for stimulus durations exceeding 20 ms. These data provide further quantitative evidence for asymmetric threshold and suprathreshold response properties of the crossed and uncrossed human acoustic stapedius reflex and demonstrate the dependence of these effects on stimuli of different durations.
