Definition
Term
action potential (AP)
Definition
a change in nerve or muscle activity
Term
electroencephalography (EEG)
Definition
scalp electrodes are placed on the client and the ongoing electrical bran potentials are measured and recorded on a graph (electroencephalogram)
Term
auditory evoked potential testing
Definition
refers to a group of all tests that evoke brain activity by the introduction of auditory stimuli
Term
latency (time window)
Definition
time at which the evoked potential appears following stimulation
Term
exogenous
Definition
components of evoked potentials that are controlled by external events
Term
endogenous
Definition
components of potentials that are regulated by internal aspects of brain activity
Term

Definition
an attempt to record the sum of the neural activity across the entire frequency region of the cochlea in response to click stimulation
Term
latency-intensity function
Definition
Term
electrocochleography
Definition
the recording of compound action potentials from the cochlea and eighth cranial nerve
Term
acoustic reflex decay
Definition
a reduction in the initial amplitude of the acoustic reflex, abnormal if the reduction is more than 50 percent of the initial amplitude within a 10 second stimulation period when the ear is stimulated at an intensity 10 dB about the reflex threshold
