      stapedius reflex: monotic and dichotic stimulation.

AB  - Two experiments were performed to study short-term poststimulatory response 
      characteristics of the human acoustic stapedius reflex in the time and intensity 
      domains. In experiment 1, monotic magnitude-intensity functions (MIFs) were 
      obtained for a 20-ms test stimulus preceded by a conditioning stimulus varying in 
      duration (20, 50, 100, 500 ms) and level (-10, 0, +10 dB re: stapedius-reflex 
      threshold) and temporally separated from the test stimulus by various 
      interstimulus intervals (ISIs) (0, 20, 50, 100, 500 ms). Experiment 2 was similar 
      in design except that conditioner and test stimuli were presented dichotically 
      and fewer ISIs were used. Both experiments demonstrated that a prior conditioning 
      stimulus produced significant increases in test-stimulus response magnitude. 
      These poststimulatory effects were characterized by complex interactions among 
      stimulus variables (conditioner duration, conditioner level, and interstimulus 
      interval) with similar interactions occurring for both monotic and dichotic 
      stimuli. A simple superposition effect of the responses to the conditioner and 
      test stimulus does not account for the effect of prior stimulation since 
      responses often exceeded the sum of the responses to the conditioner and the test 
      stimulus alone.
