Abstract
Teghtsoonian and Teghtsoonian (1986) have taken me to task for publishing data that are consistent with the view that the subjectively equal stimulus spacing for the of noise is linear in decibels, and that observers use numbers linearly in judging loudness (poulton, 1984, p. 338). The Teghtsoonians argue that the data can be accounted for equally well by power functions; they assume that the observers use a scale of numbers calibrated in ratios. Yet this is true of only some of the data, and there are other grounds for believing that the observers use a linear scale of numbers.
