Abstract

Each of 7 subjects matched the loudness of a single tone to the loudness differences within tone pairs (Experiment 1), gave magnitude estimations of those differences (Experiment 2), and gave magnitude estimations of single tonal loudness (Experiment 3). Individual subjects used several loudness scales to perform these tasks, in accordance with Marks's (1979b) theory. At least 3 subjects used the same scale to match loudnesses to loudness differences and to give magnitude estimations of the loudness of single tones (Experiments 1 and 3), but used a shallower sloped scale when giving magnitude estimations of loudness differences (Experiment 2).
