Measuring temporal resolution in infants using mismatch negativity
Abstract
We show that the mismatch negativity (MMN) component of the event-related potential can be used to measure auditory temporal resolution in human infants. Infrequent stimuli with silent gaps of 4, 8, or 12 ms modulated the P2 component, generated MMN, and produced a P3a-like positivity. The data indicate that within-channel gap detection thresholds at 6 months are essentially at adult levels under conditions of little adaptation. Since MMN is …
