On the Use of Bisection Procedures in Animal Psychophysical Scaling.

Raslear, Thomas G.

Psychometrika, v47 n1 p95-99 Mar 1982

The ability of bisection procedures to specify the form of the psychophysical scale depends upon the precision of the technique. It is demonstrated that this precision is a function of the stimulus interval bisected. The testing of interval scale properties of derived scales is discussed. (Author/JKS)
