Abstract

Magnitude estimates were obtained for the loudness of 77 pure tones varying in frequency (11 values) and intensity (seven values) when (1) all 77 tones were presented intermixed within a session, and (2) all tones of one frequency were presented before presenting tones of another frequency. A power function described the growth of loudness for each frequency for both conditions 1 and 2, and the exponent of the power function varied with frequency. Equal loudness contours were derived from the power functions of Condition 1 and were compared to those obtained from other experiments using different procedures.
