Popis:	Anticipatory middle ear muscle contractions (MEMC) have been implemented as protective components of Damage-Risk Criteria (DRC) for impulsive noises. However, no studies have shown that anticipatory MEMC are pervasive among humans. This presentation describes a series of studies of the viability of assumed anticipatory MEMC obtained either through classical conditioning or while operating a model gun. Participants were adults with normal hearing, and the conditioning tasks varied on sensory modality and attention. Both between- and within-subjects designs were used. A conditioned response was defined as an MEMC occurring prior to the unconditioned stimulus and when only the conditioning stimulus was presented. These studies do not suggest that anticipatory MEMC should be included in DRC for impulsive noises.
