The paired H reflex, considered to be the electrically evoked counterpart of the monosynaptic stretch reflex, provides a measure of motoneuron excitability under a variety of experimental and clinical conditions. It also offers a potentially useful tool in examining the neurophysiologic basis of alterations in reflex response in different states of awareness. This study investigated the relationship between the paired H reflex and academic achievement in students practicing the Transcendental Meditation program. The paired H reflex correlated significantly with grade point average, but not with SAT scores or any of three IQ measurements. These results suggest that the facilitation period of the paired H-reflex recovery curve may be a useful indicator of academic achievement, perhaps as a result of its relationship to awareness or wakefulness level.
成对H反射被认为是单突触牵张反射的电诱发对应物，它能在各种实验和临床条件下测量运动神经元的兴奋性。它还为研究不同意识状态下反射反应改变的神经生理基础提供了一个潜在有用的工具。本研究调查了练习超觉静坐法的学生的成对H反射与学业成绩之间的关系。成对H反射与平均绩点显著相关，但与SAT分数或三项智商测量中的任何一项均无关联。这些结果表明，成对H反射恢复曲线的易化期可能是学业成绩的一个有用指标，这可能是由于它与意识或清醒水平的关系。
