Bisection measurement gives an alternative approach. This is related to Ramsey’s representation theorem for probability and utility. Stevens’ indirect magnitude production method can be given a rigorous analysis. Torgerson’s experiments suggest that subjects cannot distinguish between estimating equal intervals and equal ratios. Problems of cross-modality matching are explored.","PeriodicalId":378445,"journal":{"name":"The Pursuit of Happiness","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127718266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
