Description:
An evaluation was made of whether stimulus intensity affects changes of P300 amplitude in response to repeated presentation of the target stimulus in a standard auditory oddball task. P300 latency values were also evaluated. Three samples were selected, one for each intensity used: 65, 85 and 105dB SPL (sound pressure level). Five hundred tones (5 subblocks, 100 tones each) were presented. P300 amplitude (1) increased from Fz to Pz, (2) was larger at 105 than 65 or 85dB SPL, (3) increased from the first to second subblock and decreased from the second subblock onwards at the three intensities, replicating our previous findings at 85dB SPL and demonstrating a consistent phenomenon, and (4) at 105dB SPL, the decrease was less pronounced, which we attribute to the more intense stimuli capturing the attention in a sustained manner during the task and interfering with the possible automation of the context-updating process.
