Previous research had suggested a relationship between averaged cortical evoked response (AER) characteristics and the perception of stimulus intensity. In this study a systematic relationship was hypothesized between AER characteristics and performance on traditional sensory threshold procedures. Averaged evoked responses to light flashes and performances on a battery of psychophysical tasks were measured in 20 normal volunteers. Ss with one AER pattern were sensitive to low-intensity stimulation; Ss with another AER pattern exhibited the opposite response tendency. These findings were interpreted in terms of a theoretical construct regarding a stimulus-intensity control mechanism in the central nervous system.

Intensity Control

The perceived intensity of a stimulus may be magnified during depression. Stimulus intensity control can be studied by means of cortical evoked potentials. In a study of 33 depressives, cortical evoked potentials were greater during depression than on recovery. The effect of doxepin on the amplitudes of evoked potentials of depressives was compared with that of amitriptyline. Doxepin reduced amplitudes. Amitriptyline had a similar, but non-significant effect.

Rod And Frame

There has been only one study with normals which examines relationships among Silverman's three dimensions of attention (cf. Silverman & King, 1970). The present study examined the relationship between scores of normal females on tasks that correlate with factors interpreted as field-articulation control and stimulus-intensity control. No significant linear or curvilinear relationships were obtained from Ss' scores on the rod-and-frame test and the kinesthetic figural aftereffects' test. These results support the belief that field-articulation control and stimulus-intensity control are independent cognitive controls in normals.
