- Chapter 1. Introduction to sensory scaling. New versus old psychophysics -- Early attempts to quantify sensation -- Early development of the new psychophysics. Chapter 2. The magnitude estimation experiment. Experimental apparatus and arrangement -- Range and number of stimuli -- Temporal spacing of stimuli -- Number of subjects and number of judgments -- The estimation procedure -- Analysis of the results of magnitude estimation. Chapter 3. Sensory magnitude and the sensitivity of sensory systems.

Qualitative and hedonic attributes of sensation. Attributes of sensation -- Dimensions of visual experience -- Dimensions of auditory experience -- Olfactory quality -- Gustatory quality -- Hedonic responses to sensory stimuli. Chapter 7.
