In early auditory evoked potentials (EAEPs) evoked by click trains, every click had a masking effect on the responses to the clicks following it and the whole response evoked by the click train was the sum of the masked responses to every click in the train. Special attention was paid to the situation when the inter-stimulus interval (ISI) was less than 10 ms and the responses to the individual clicks might be merged to form a continuous wave. The experiments showed that the more the number of the clicks preceding a given click in the train, the stronger the effect on the response to this click until the number was big enough and the effect became saturated; the shorter the ISI when it was less than 10 ms, the stronger the effect; the higher the intensity of the masker, the stronger the effect.
在短声序列诱发的早期听觉诱发电位（EAEPs）中，每个短声对其后跟随的短声的反应都有掩蔽作用，并且短声序列诱发的整个反应是对序列中每个短声的掩蔽反应之和。特别关注了刺激间隔（ISI）小于10毫秒且对各个短声的反应可能合并形成连续波的情况。实验表明，在序列中给定短声之前的短声数量越多，对该短声反应的影响就越强，直到数量足够大且影响达到饱和；当ISI小于10毫秒时，ISI越短，影响越强；掩蔽声的强度越高，影响越强。
