Re: "It does exactly what it says on the tin": reference found

[Massimo Grassi <massimo.grassi@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear list members,

I found the reference I was looking for (perhaps there are other, 
similar papers out there):

Stillman, J. A. (1989). A comparison of three adaptive psychophysical 
procedures using inexperienced listeners. Perception & psychophysics, 
46(4), 345-350.

In this work the author estimates the threshold of the participant with 
an adaptive procedure ( 2-down, 1-up; 3-down, 1-up; PEST tracking the 
80%) and later presents to the participant the estimated threshold 
repeatedly in a fixed stimuli experiment.

Thank you all!
