[The clock at the audiometer (author's transl)]. 1979

W Kumpf

The latencies of on- and off-responses on tonal stimuli have been measured by a pair of electronic clocks. Short responding times have not been forced and interaction between audiometrist and subjects has been perserved. Experienced probands and patients reacted by lengthening of reaction time near threshold and near thresholds in masking noise. In most cases stimuli at threshold levels have not been responded completely. Recruitment is not the only possible cause for short latencies at threshold levels.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011930	Reaction Time	The time from the onset of a stimulus until a response is observed.	Response Latency,Response Speed,Response Time,Latency, Response,Reaction Times,Response Latencies,Response Times,Speed, Response,Speeds, Response
D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D001299	Audiometry	The testing of the acuity of the sense of hearing to determine the thresholds of the lowest intensity levels at which an individual can hear a set of tones. The frequencies between 125 and 8000 Hz are used to test air conduction thresholds and the frequencies between 250 and 4000 Hz are used to test bone conduction thresholds.	Audiometries
