  • Abstract
    In this paper, we explore two psychoacoustic measurement methods: constant stimuli method and forced choice up-down (staircase) method. According to the research results, the former one will take much more time. If we are only interested in finding out the threshold in psychometric function, the forced choice up-down (staircase) method possesses higher efficiency.
