摘要

An adaptive procedure for rapid and efficient psychophysical testing is described. PEST (Parameter Estimation by Sequential Testing) was designed with maximally efficient trial-by-trial sequential decisions at each stimulus level, in a sequence which tends to converge on a selected target level. An appendix introduces an approach to measuring test efficiency as applied to psychophysical testing problems.
