Dual cerebral processing of elementary auditory input in children
Abstract
We compared event-related responses (ERPs) to non-attended frequent and intermittent auditory input in school-aged children and in young adults. In adults, both inputs elicited prominent auditory N100 responses at vertex. In children, intermittent stimulation evoked vertex responses with similar latency and refractoriness, whereas frequently delivered identical tones evoked responses on average at 240 ms. Sensitization of a separate neuronal population at 260-300 ms was obvious during intermittent stimulation in children. The dual behaviour, simultaneous 'habituation' of one neuronal population response and sensitization of another, may reflect the process of redirecting the attention and setting up a neuronal model. Furthermore, results suggest that a simplistic interpretation of developmental ERPs in which shortening of latencies represents maturation is insufficient.

The steady-state reduction in response to later train stimuli is thought to reflect refractory/recovery dynamics of auditory neurons and circuits (Fruhstorfer et al., 1970; Karhu et al., 1997).
“The reduction in response to subsequent stimuli in the train over the steady state is thought to reflect refractory/recovery dynamics of neurons and circuits of the auditory system (Fruhstorfer et al., 1970; Karhu et al., 1997).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
