The auditory evoked response to low (0.5K Hz) and high (8.0K Hz) frequency tones at three levels of intensity (40, 55, and 80 dB) were recorded for subjects differing in degree of extra‐version. Introverts were observed to have greater N1‐P2 amplitude than extraverts with the low frequency tones at 55 and 80 dB intensity. The results support Eysenck's general proposal relating introversion to higher levels of cortical activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
