Measuring tinnitus loudness using constrained psychophysical scaling.
PURPOSE We measured tinnitus loudness using a new method of psychophysical scaling with the aim of introducing a potentially useful new procedure to the literature. METHOD Fourteen adults reporting tinnitus were trained to use a standardized loudness scale, and then they used that response scale to assess loudness of nonstandard stimuli and of their tinnitus. We also measured tinnitus loudnes...
متن کاملExamining the validity of numerical ratios in loudness fractionation.
Direct psychophysical scaling procedures presuppose that observers are able to directly relate a numerical value to the sensation magnitude experienced. This assumption is based on fundamental conditions (specified by Luce, 2002), which were evaluated experimentally. The participants' task was to adjust the loudness of a 1-kHz tone so that it reached a certain prespecified fraction of the loudn...
متن کاملConcurrent Sweet’s syndrome and erythema nodosum: two manifestations of the same disease or the same spectrum?
Sweet’s syndrome and erythema nodosum are rarely seen together. Herein, we report a case of concurrent Sweet’s syndrome and erythema nodosum and review previous cases.
متن کاملWeight of evidence supports one operation for "ratios" and "differences" of heaviness.
This paper investigates an apparent contradiction between recent studies of "ratios" and "differences" of heaviness. Birnbaum and Veit (1974) found a single rank order for judgments in the two tasks, whereas Rule, Curtis, and Mullin (1981), who used a different stimulus set, procedure, and experimental design, reported two orders. To investigate the cause of this discrepancy, the present study ...
متن کاملAre psychophysical scales of intensities the same or different when stimuli vary on other dimensions? Theory with experiments varying loudness and pitch.
UNLABELLED Most studies concerning psychological measurement scales of intensive attributes have concluded that these scales are of ratio type and that the psychophysical function is closely approximated by a power function. Experiments show, for such cases, that a commutativity property must hold under either successive increases or successive decreases provided, e.g., all other independent di...
