Subject: Re: "It does exactly what it says on the tin": reference found From: Massimo Grassi <massimo.grassi@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2014 10:41:44 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>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.
