碩士 === 中國文化大學 === 運動教練研究所 === 86 === The purpose of this investigation is to discuss the Auditory Evoked Potentials of Adult with Down Syndrome from intensity (personal lowest auditory threshold, lowest auditory threshold plus 40 % ) and interval( 2.5sec, 4sec ) . Every subject received the different stimulus combination randomly and needed to complete 150 artifact-free stimulus. Three adults with Down syndrome and three normal adults were volunteer for this study. Use independent t-test, paired t-test, simple linear regression to analysis the data, and find that: 1. The people with Down syndrome can't reach response habituation after completing 150 artifact-free stimulus. 2. There is one amplitude decrement finding (not significant). Short stimulus interval, high stimulus intensity make a little influence in decreasing the amplitude or prevent increasing the amplitude. Key words: Down syndrome, habituation, Auditory Evoked Potential
