Abstract
The time required for lingual vibrotactile thresholds of normal young adults to return to baseline levels of sensitivity was determined foll owing presentations of a 250-Hz stimulus for durations of 5 and 15 sec at eight different intensity levels. Results indicated that stimulus duration and stimulus intensity levels significantly affected threshol d recovery time. Longer recovery times were noted for stimuli of great er duration and intensity.
