In unidimensional absolute identification tasks, participants identify stimuli that vary along a
single dimension. Performance is surprisingly poor compared with discrimination of the …

Most decision-making research has focused on choices between two alternatives. For
choices between many alternatives, the primary result is Hick's Law—that mean response …

Il est bien connu que la variabilité de la réponse de discrimination augmente avec l'intensité
du stimulus, liée de près à la loi de Weber. Aussi, que l'amplitude de la sensation augmente …

In most of the long history of the study of absolute identification—since Miller's (1956)
seminal article—a severe limit on performance has been observed, and this limit has …

Shannon's information theory has been a popular component of first-order cybernetics. It
quantifies information transmitted in terms of the number of times a sent symbol is received …

The power function exponent for loudness is traditionally determined by means of a process
of magnitude estimation. It is demonstrated in this paper that the exponent can also be …

This article examines three recordings from the early heyday of HIP, made around the same
time, all of Beethoven's First Symphony, Op. 21, focusing on its last movement. It isolates the …

This paper considers the information transmitted in absolute judgments as encoded in a
stimulus–response matrix (eg, see Garner and Hake, 1951). When transmitted information is …

The traditional paradigm for studying the magical number is questioned and a new
approach is sought in order to obtain a better conceptual understanding of this …

Categorization of sound level requires that the subject classify the intensity of stimulus tones
into appropriate response categories. Intensities are selected at random from a fixed …
