Abstract
THE time interval between successive stimuli has been shown in a variety of situations to be crucial for the amplitude of response. For example, at certain intervals, the earlier stimulus may increase the amplitude of the response to the second stimulus. Such a phenomenon is known as facilitation, and has been demonstrated at the neural level, for example, by Lloyd1,2.
