Sensory Thresholds and Response Bias

摘要: Sensory differential thresholds are studied by two models: a discrete model, the neural quantum theory, and continuous signal detectability theory. A comprehensive series of auditory experiments is reported that was designed to obtain measures both detection decision processes observers when consists brief increment in amplitude pure 1000‐cps tone. The analyses performed on these support existence low threshold hearing. These include location isosensitivity functions characteristics psychometric functions. do not, however, provide sufficient evidence permit definite conclusion about validity neutral except it clear model applied theory incorrect for “high”‐amplitude signals.
