This experiment demonstrated a relationship between prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the startle eyeblink and visual backward masking in college students. It was hypothesized thatrecoveryfrom backward masking effects is due in part to sensory gating, as assessed by auditory and visual PPI. Visual presentations of letters served as targets or visual prepulses in an intermixed session of backward masking and PPI. Backward masking and PPI (both auditory and visual) were assessed at stimulus onset asynchronies of 30, 45, 60, 120, and 150 ms. A repeated‐measures regression revealed that there was a relationship between backward masking and PPI for both visual and auditory PPI, with higher levels of PPI being associated with greater recovery from backward masking. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that recovery from backward masking effects is affected by sensory gating acting in part to gate out the interruptive effects of the mask.
