Abstract
The differential threshold for the visual discrimination of intensities follows the same essential rules as are obeyed by the so-called "absolute" intensity threshold. Without unnecessary assumptions there can thus be obtained a simple, efficient formulation of the existing data which is consistent with the statistical basis of neural discrimination in general.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
