  • To describe the general development of adaptive procedures in psychophysics.
  • To review three commonly used adaptive methods for stimulus presentation.
  • To evaluate the utility and comparative advantages of these procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Adaptive procedures adjust stimulus properties based on prior trial responses.
  • Focus on methods for measuring threshold values and psychometric function characteristics.
  • Review of simulation results and human subject experiments.
