    This study on auditory event-related potentials found that preceding tones influenced P3 responses differently for target and nontarget stimuli. Sequential effects on P3 may depend on subject attention and task set.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Neuroscience
    • Auditory Perception

    Background:

    • Sequential effects in auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) are well-documented.
    • Previous research by Squires et al. (1976, 1977) identified specific sequential effects on the P3 component.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To replicate and extend findings on sequential effects on the P3 component.
    • To investigate the influence of preceding tones on P3 using ANOVA.
    • To examine effects on prestimulus baselines, N1, and electrooculography (EOG).

    Main Methods:

    • Participants counted high tones amidst a random sequence of high and low tones.
    • Analysis employed an ANOVA approach to assess the contribution of preceding tones.
    • Measured P3 amplitude, prestimulus baselines, N1, and EOG.

    Main Results:

    • P3 amplitudes were generally larger for target tones compared to nontargets.
    • Sequential effects for nontargets replicated Squires et al.'s findings.
    • Sequential effects for target tones were largely reversed compared to nontargets.
    • Preceding sequences also influenced prestimulus baselines, N1, and EOG.

    Conclusions:

    • Target effects on P3 appear to be the norm, not the exception.
    • Subtle differences in subjects' attentional sets may alter sequential effects on P3.
    • Findings suggest parallels between sequential effects in ERPs and choice reaction times.
