BAER is affected by stimulus rate more in younger children than in the older. Adult-like rate-dependent changes are reached at 1-2 years for wave I latency and I-III interval, and 3-4 years for wave III and V latencies and I-V and III-V intervals. Our BAER data at different click rates provide normal references for subjects of various ages.
