The relative contribution of a priori probability of the stimuli and the sequence of immediately preceding stimuli at 9 levels of a priori probability (.10-.90). Random sequences of high (1500 Hz) and low (1000 Hz) tones were presented to 10 men at each level of probability, both when the events were task-relevant and when the subjects were performing an alternate task to which the tones were irrelevant. The EEG was recorded from 5 midline electrode sites referred to linked mastoids.The amplitude of the .**GRAPHIC**. and slow wave components was inversely proportional to the a priori probability of task-relevant events. At every level of a priori probability, the magnitude of the .**GRAPHIC**. complex .**GRAPHIC**. slow wave) was diminished when the eliciting tone repeated the preceding tone, and was enhanced when it was preceded by the other tone. A priori probability and sequential structure were apparently independent determinants of the .**GRAPHIC**. complex.
