An in vitro preparation of hair cells from the bullfrog sacculus produces a transepithelial microphonic potential in response to well-defined mechanical stimuli. If corrected for the electrical time constant of the epithelium, the response follows a fast stimulus with a 40-microsecond delay at 22 degree C. The short latency and its modest temperature dependence limit possible models for transdu...

objectives: auditory brain stem response (abr) is a result of eight nerve and brain stem nuclei stimulation. several factors may affect the latencies, interpeak latencies and amplitudes in abr especially sex and age. in this study, age and sex influence on abr were studied. methods: this study was performed on 120 cases (60 males and 60 females) at akhavan rehabilitation center of university of...

P300 latency is commonly thought to provide a chronometric index of the duration of perceptual processing. Because the evidence in favor of this assumption is controversial, we examined whether P300 latency is influenced by perceptual processes, response selection, and by motoric processes in two experiments using a two-choice spatial stimulus-response compatibility (SRC) task. Both experiments...

Multifarious psychological constructs are indexed by the mean latency difference (MLD), the within-subject difference between mean response latency on two tasks. Two associations consistently emerge in mean latency data. Firstly, across subjects, mean latencies on distinct tasks are positively correlated. This correlation arises from individual differences in general rates of information proces...

Background: Early simple, low-cost diagnosis of schizophrenia may accelerate the beginning of the treatment process. Here, utilizing the projective tools, including fractal images, are some of the diagnostic aids. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the preferences, descriptions, and response latency to fractal images between schizophrenic and healthy individuals. Materials & Methods: In ...

The relationship is examined between response accuracy and response latency as measures of memory, and questions are raised concerning the value of the unidimensionality assumption often invoked in theories of memory. Three paired-associate experiments investigated the effects of the length of the retention interval, the kind of processing during incidental learning. and the number of study ver...

Few objective analysis techniques have been developed for, or applied to, the auditory evoked middle latency response (MLR). This report demonstrates the applicability of the Fsp statistical technique (Elberling and Don, 1984) to the MLR time domain. Subjects for this study were 10 normal hearing young adults. The stimuli were 60, 40, 20 dB nHL clicks and a NS control. Evoked responses were obt...

Objectives: Altered movement strategy and postural control has been observed in Low Back Pain (LBP) patients. Objective of this study was to determine postural response following support surface translation, also correlations between postural response related measures and disability caused by LBP. Methods: 20 healthy subjects and 20 patients with recurrent non specific LBP participated in th...
