Birnbaum, Michael H.; Jou, Jr-Wen – Cognitive Psychology, 1990
Through an experiment with 30 college students, a theory was developed to describe response times and ratings of the difference of stimuli. The model was applied in ratings of the likableness of persons by 22 other college students. A theory of comparative response times and difference judgments is discussed. (SLD)
