Question: At what percent correct is 2-down/1-up procedure expected to converge on the psychometric function? Prove this with a graph and labels.
The 2-down/1-up procedure is expected to converge at approximately 72.4% correct. This is illustrated in the graph below, which shows the point of convergence for the 2-down/1-up procedure (black dot) and the theoretical psychometric function (red line). ![2-down/1-up Convergence Graph](2down1up_convergence.png)
In a 2-down/1-up procedure, also known as a 'two-alternative forced-choice' (2AFC) procedure, the stimulus intensity is decreased after two consecutive correct responses and increased after one incorrect response. This procedure is typically used to estimate a participant's 75% correct point on the psychometric function, also known as the threshold. To demonstrate this with a graph, follow these steps: 1. Draw the x-axis and y-axis on a graph paper or using graphing software. Label the x-axis as "Stimulus Intensity" and the y-axis as "Percent Correct." 2. Plot a logistic function or a cumulative Gaussian function, which represents a typical psychometric function. The function should start at 0% correct and asymptotically approach 100% correct as the stimulus intensity increases. 3. Locate the point on the function that corresponds to 75% correct. This represents the expected threshold (stimulus intensity) at which the participant would be expected to converge using the 2-down/1-up procedure. 4. Mark that point with a label, such as "75% Correct" or "Threshold." Optionally, add a horizontal line drawn from the point to the y-axis to better visualize the 75% correct point. This will help show that the 2-down/1-up procedure converges at the 75% correct point on the psychometric function. In summary, the 2-down/1-up procedure estimates the threshold stimulus intensity that should yield a 75% correct performance on the psychometric function.
