Excerpt from A Study of the Effect of Preceding Stimuli Upon the Judgment of Auditory Intensities
The present experiment was planned for the purpose of. Seeing Whether any such effect is present in the field of auditory intensities. If it is present, Will it be a contrast effect or will the results conform to the law of central tendency; or do both operate? If such an efiect exists it would be well to have an absolute measure of the magnitude of it. As yet there has been no such measure obtained, but the present experiment does involve such an approach.
The purpose of the experiment can be thus outlined in very broad and general terms. When the problem is stated more specifically one sees that it is an investigation concerned with What has always been called the time error in psychophysical experiments. In many experiments it has been found that there is an over-estimation a negative time error) or an under-estimation a positive time error) of the second stimulus with regard to the first. Attempts have been made to compensate for this asymmetry by reversing the order of presentation of the stimuli or by using a standard above the mid-point of the series; but in most cases the time error was not completely eliminated.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a scientific investigation into the human perception of sound. The author delves into the effects of a first sound on our interpretation of a second sound played immediately afterward. Through experimentation, it has been discovered that our brains often adjust their interpretation of sound volume based on what came before. This and other effects, both expected and novel, are explored through rigorous scientific methodology. The author provides a compelling argument against previous scientific consensus on the subject, with particular attention paid to the concept of "contrast effect". This book offers valuable insight into the fundamental question of how humans perceive the world, and the ways in which our senses are constantly influencing each other.
