In 15 normal-hearing persons a number of stapedius reflex responses 10 dB above individual reflex threshold has been measured and recorded. In an experimental condition the same stimulus tone has been used and the responses recorded. During the experiment two tones have been continuously presented - one of lower and one of higher frequency with amplitudes lying 10-15 dB underneath the tone evoking the stimulus. In an experimental condition an attenuation of the reflex response resulted. The normal reflex decay, first of all in higher frequencies has been controlled during experiment. The results indicate a similarity to those found under adequate conditions in other perceptive organs, these being interpreted as lateral inhibition.
在15名听力正常的受试者中，测量并记录了高于个体反射阈值10分贝的镫骨肌反射反应。在实验条件下，使用相同的刺激音并记录反应。实验过程中持续呈现两种音调——一种低频音和一种高频音，其幅度比诱发刺激的音调低10 - 15分贝。在实验条件下，反射反应出现衰减。实验过程中对正常的反射衰减进行了控制，首先是在高频段。结果表明，这与在其他感觉器官的适当条件下发现的结果相似，这些结果被解释为侧向抑制。
