Abstract
Observers matched the brightness of a light to the loudness of a noise, and vice versa, at various levels of intensity. The cross-modality functions therby generated have the form predicted by the psychophysical power law of sensory magnitude, and they demonstrate that the psychophysical functions relating brightness and loudness to the level of stimulus energy have approximately the same exponents,.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
