Abstract

There is a class of multiple-alternative forced-choice psychophysical procedures in which the subject is required to identify which one of a number of stimuli differs from the remaining stimuli, without having to consider the direction or sign of the difference. A table giving values of the discrimination indexd′ as a function of the proportion of correct responses in such odd-man-out procedures was generated by numerical simulation. The table covers experiments with 3 to 32 alternative stimuli.
