Intensity Perception. I. Preliminary Theory of Intensity Resolution
Abstract
An attempt is made to develop a quantitative theory of intensity resolution that is applicable to a wide variety of experiments on discrimination, identification, and scaling. The theory is composed of a Thurstonian decision model, which separates sensitivity from response bias, and an internal-noise model, which separates sensory limitations from memory limitations. It is assumed that the subject has two memory operating modes, a sensory-trace mode and a context-coding mode, and that the use of these two modes is determined by the characteristics of the experiment. In one-interval paradigms, it is assumed that the context-coding mode is used, and the theory relates resolution to the total range of intensities in the stimulus set. In two-interval paradigms, it is assumed that the two modes are combined, and the theory relates resolution to both the total intensity range and the duration between the two intervals. The theory provides, among other things, a new interpretation of the 7 ± 2 phenomenon.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
