PG  - 147-58
AB  - Forward and backward vibrotactile recognition masking was investigated in 4 
      subjects with 240-Hz and 160-Hz targets of 20 ms duration and four 200-Hz masks, 
      using interstimulus intervals (ISIs) ranging from -500 to 500 ms. Two of the 
      masks (short) were 20 ms and two (long) were 200 ms in duration. One of each set 
      of masks was matched in subjective intensity to the targets, but the others were 
      more intense. The range of ISIs over which masking was obtained was comparable to 
      that found by Massaro (1970) with auditory stimuli. Both short masks produced 
      more masking than either long mask except at short ISIs. Larger mask intensities 
      increased masking only at very short ISIs, and longer mask durations increased 
      backward but not forward masking.
