What is the minimum time interval for presenting tones in a non-manual test after each response?

The minimum time interval for presenting tones in a non-manual test after each response is set at 1 second. This interval is important for ensuring that there is enough time for the participant to process the previous tone before the next one is presented. It helps to maintain the clarity of the test and reduces the likelihood of response confusion or overlap. The 1-second interval balances the need for an adequate response time while also maintaining a reasonable pace for the assessment.

Longer intervals could lead to unnecessary delays in the testing process, while shorter intervals might not allow the participant enough time to effectively respond. Thus, the 1-second guideline is established to optimize both efficiency and accuracy during a non-manual tone presentation.
