Abstract
EDR latency and amplitude as a function of tonal intensity were investigated in 40 subjects, 20 of whom were conditioned with a 0.6 second tone followed instantaneously by shock while the other 20 were conditioned with a 3.0 second tone followed instantaneously by shock. The 0.6 second method resulted in higher strength conditioning than the 3.0 second method. The 0.6-second method resulted in a greater rate of change of amplitudes with tonal intensity. The variability of EDR latencies was smaller for the 0.6 second method.Keywords
