Source of variation on lingual vibrotactile thresholds: II. Adequate experimenter training
Vibrotactile thresholds were obtained from the anterior midline of the tongue for 10 randomly selected normal adults. Results were subsequently compared with an initial set of data obtained from three different examiners with varying degrees of exposure to threshold assessment technique. The examiner for this study was the inexperienced examiner from the initial investigation, who obtained sign...
متن کاملThresholds for impaired species recovery.
Studies on small and declining populations dominate research in conservation biology. This emphasis reflects two overarching frameworks: the small-population paradigm focuses on correlates of increased extinction probability; the declining-population paradigm directs attention to the causes and consequences of depletion. Neither, however, particularly informs research on the determinants, rate ...
متن کاملEffects of sexual arousal on vibrotactile detection thresholds in aged men with and without erectile dysfunction.
BACKGROUND Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common problem in ageing men. Abnormalities in sexual arousal may contribute to its development, and to the failure of pharmacological therapies. However, there are few objective ways of assessing arousal. Sexual arousal has been shown to affect vibrotactile detection thresholds (VDT) in young, healthy men. The present study assessed the effects of sexu...
متن کاملDependence of vibrotactile thresholds on the psychophysical measurement method.
OBJECTIVES To investigate the dependence of vibrotactile thresholds on the psychophysical method used in the diagnosis of neurological dysfunction caused by exposure to hand-transmitted vibration. To compare thresholds obtained with (a) 'continuously variable' versus intermittent 'staircase' stimulation using 'yes-no' responses, and (b) 'yes-no' and 'forced-choice' responses using intermittent ...
متن کاملNormative vibrotactile thresholds measured at five European test centres.
OBJECTIVES To compare vibrotactile thresholds between five international test centres, to determine causes of variability, and to provide normative data for use by health professionals. METHODS Vibrotactile thresholds were measured on various fingers in 1,008 subjects at 31.5 Hz (2,531 measurements) and at 125 Hz (2,807 measurements). Three centres used the up-and-down method of limits, rate ...
