A classical conditioning procedure, in which tones of different intensities and frequencies constituted the conditioned stimuli and an air puff on the corner of the infants' eye represented the unconditioned stimulus, proved to be an effective device for evaluating the hearing ability of young babies. The 45 infants participating in the present study were able to start responding to the presentation of the tones (i.e. complete and prolonged closure of their eye before the onset of the air puff or independent of the puff) in a relatively short period of time. The presence of responding could be regarded as a reliable sign of the infants' hearing functioning across frequencies and intensities.
一种经典条件作用程序被证明是评估幼儿听力的有效方法。在该程序中,不同强度和频率的音调构成条件刺激,而轻吹婴儿眼角代表无条件刺激。参与本研究的45名婴儿能够在相对较短的时间内开始对音调的呈现做出反应(即在吹气开始前或与吹气无关时完全且长时间闭眼)。有反应可被视为婴儿在不同频率和强度下听力功能的可靠标志。
