“…Short latencies were ensured by withholding reinforcement for reaction times in excess of 1 sec. The characteristics of the latency-intensity functions closely resemble those obtained for man by Chocholle (1940) and more recently McGill (1963) and Greenbaum (1963), and for monkeys by Romba, Gates, and Martin (1963) and Stebbins and Miller (1964). In addition, the shape of the functions and the changes in variability with stimulus intensity are very similar to those obtained by neurophysiological recording of the latency of discharge of the first spike from single units in the auditory system of cats (Hind, Goldberg, Greenwood, and Rose, 1963), and the latency of intracellularly recorded excitatory post-synaptic potentials from the somatosensory system of cats by Towe and Morse (1962).…”

Monkeys were trained to release a telegraph key at the onset of a pure tone. Latency of the response was measured over a 70-db range of sound pressure (re 0.0002 dyn/cm(2)) at six frequencies (250 to 15,000 cps). Latency was found to be an inverse exponential function of intensity at all frequencies. Equal loudness was inferred from the equal latency contours which were constructed from the latency-intensity functions at each frequency. These data indicate peak auditory sensitivity for the monkey near 1000 cps. At the frequencies above and below 1000 cps consistently more sound energy was required for equal latency.

“…Close inspection of the auditory function indicates that it resembles an exponential function and is approaching an asymptote at about 300 msec. Romba, Gates and Martin (1963) have reported similar latency data for the monkey with variation in the intensity of a 2000 cps tone. However, shock avoidance was used as a training procedure and the latency of the key press (rather than key release) response was measured.…”

Monkeys were trained to release a telegraph key in response to a visual or auditory stimulus. The latency of the key release response was measured for different stimulus intensities. In general, the relation between latency and intensity is inverse and exponential with greater variability of latency at the lower intensities. Some preliminary data involving differential reinforcement of short latencies are presented.
