Four subjects judged the odor intensities of 7 pyridine concentrations and a blank. Computer simulations of a judgment model were compared with the empirical data. The model generates data patterns that closely mimic empirical findings. The following patterns were confirmed: (a) A power function relates magnitude estimates and concentration with an exponent in the range of 0.7 to 1.0 (b) The exponent fluctuates so that the level constant is negatively correlated with the exponent. (c) The standard deviation of the responses is a negatively accelerated function of the mean. (d) The skewness of the responses is relatively high for low concentrations and declines toward zero with increasing concentration. (e) The correlation between responses to successive stimuli is highest when successive concentrations are similar.
