The term reflex modulation (RM) as used here refers to an auditorially induced modification in the magnitude of a cutaneous reflex. the audiometric potential of RM was examined in two children, while they enjoyed viewing silent cartoons. Eyeblink reflexes elicited by an airpuff were reduced in amplitude or "inhibited" by a variety of audible tones presented 100 msec prior to reflex elicitation. The amount of relative blink inhibition was directly related to the intensity of the tones. The weakest tone intensities which produced reliable blink-inhibition were usually about 10 dB above voluntary threshold. Implications for testing the difficult-to-test are discussed.
这里所使用的术语“反射调制（RM）”指的是听觉诱发的皮肤反射幅度的改变。在两名儿童观看无声卡通片时，对RM的听力测定潜力进行了检测。在诱发反射前100毫秒呈现的各种可听音调会使吹气诱发的眨眼反射幅度减小或“受到抑制”。相对眨眼抑制量与音调强度直接相关。产生可靠眨眼抑制的最弱音调强度通常比自主阈值高约10分贝。文中讨论了对难以测试者进行测试的意义。
