In order to investigate the clinical utility of the 40-Hz event-related potential (40-Hz ERP) for young children, the effects of stimulus rate on the amplitude of the auditory brain stem response-Na deflection were compared between adults and young children. A prominent increase in the amplitude was observed in the adult subjects with stimulus rates of 35 and 40/s. On the contrary, no amplitude increment was found in the responses from young children at these stimulus rates. The mean amplitude of the responses from young children tended to decrease at stimulus rates above 30/s. These results show that precautions must be taken in the clinical application of 40-Hz ERP to infants and young children.
为了研究40赫兹事件相关电位（40-Hz ERP）在幼儿中的临床应用价值，比较了刺激速率对成人和幼儿听性脑干反应-Na波偏转幅度的影响。在刺激速率为35次/秒和40次/秒的成人受试者中观察到幅度显著增加。相反，在这些刺激速率下，幼儿的反应中未发现幅度增加。幼儿反应的平均幅度在刺激速率高于30次/秒时趋于下降。这些结果表明，在对婴幼儿临床应用40-Hz ERP时必须谨慎。
