Multidimensional Fechnerian Scaling: Pairwise Comparisons, Regular Minimality, and Nonconstant Self-Similarity
Stimuli presented pairwise for same–different judgments belong to two distinct observation areas (different time intervals and/or locations). To reflect this fact the underlying assumptions of multidimensional Fechnerian scaling (MDFS) have to be modified, the most important modification being the inclusion of the requirement that the discrimination probability functions possess regular minima....
متن کاملPreattentive processing of emotional musical tones: a multidimensional scaling and ERP study
Musical emotion can be conveyed by subtle variations in timbre. Here, we investigated whether the brain is capable to discriminate tones differing in emotional expression by recording event-related potentials (ERPs) in an oddball paradigm under preattentive listening conditions. First, using multidimensional Fechnerian scaling, pairs of violin tones played with a happy or sad intonation were ra...
متن کاملIndecision on decisional separability.
The theoretical framework of General Recognition Theory (GRT; Ashby & Townsend, Psychological Review, 93, 154-179, 1986) coupled with the empirical analysis tools of Multidimensional Signal Detection Analysis (MSDA; Kadlec & Townsend, Multidimensional models of perception and recognition, pp. 181-228, 1992) have become one important method for assessing dimensional interactions in perceptual de...
متن کاملMultidimensional Fechnerian Scaling: Probability-Distance Hypothesis
This research has been supported by NSF Grant SES-0001925. I am indebted to Hans Colonius for many helpful discussions and for critically reading the earlier version of this paper. I am grateful to Robin Thomas, Jean-Claude Falmagne, and three anonymous reviewers for helpful suggestions. In particular, Falmagne and one reviewer pointed out flaws in my initial treatment of the relationship betwe...
متن کاملFechnerian metrics in unidimensional and multidimensional stimulus spaces.
A new theory is proposed for subjective (Fechnerian) distances among stimuli in a continuous stimulus space of arbitrary dimensionality. Each stimulus in such a space is associated with a psychometric function that determines probabilities with which it is discriminated from other stimuli, and a certain measure of its discriminability from its infinitesimally close neighboring stimuli is comput...
