TRF
- noun
- Specialized
- The researchers analyzed the TRF to understand how neural activity changes in response to continuous stimuli.
- TRF scores
Examples
-
To evaluate the effectiveness of the therapy, they used the TRF as a tool for measuring neural responses over the treatment period.

Longitudinal Change of TRF Scores Over 3 Years
Academic text (2001) -
Thus, the TRF findings in this study are most likely representative of students in the SED special education category.
Academic text (2001) -
Therefore, their TRF mean T scores between Times 1 and 2 were investigated for changes that were predictive of their final outcome at Time 3.

Baseline TRF Predictors of Outcome
Academic text (2001) -
Change in scores was also studied for the narrow-band TRF scales (see Table 2).
Academic text (2001) -
In contrast, according to the TRF results, the students in the negative outcome group had significantly worsened in both their behavioral and emotional problems and had not shown progress in their academic or classroom performance.
Academic text (2001) -
Consequently, yearly TRF tracking of such groups, including after their conclusion of SED programming, should reflect their positive or negative courses and further validate the instrument beyond what the current study was able to contribute.
Academic text (2001) -
These serial findings appear to make sense, as the TRF scores would indicate continuing high levels of severity, unchanging patterns for their behavioral and emotional problems, and a lack of gain in academic and classroom functioning.
Academic text (2001) -
Therefore, this study hypothesized that one demonstration of its ability to validly measure outcomes in students with SED would be evidence that it reflects placement determinations made by school staff independent of TRF results.

Etymology
TRF is short for temporal response function, where temporal means 'time' and response means 'reaction', so a TRF is a time-based map of how the brain reacts to a sound or other continuous signal.
