Abstract
The major recent procedures in the assessment of the two-flash threshold are reviewed, including the method of limits, a modified method of limits, method of constant stimuli, and methods based on signal detection theory. Statistical procedures for these methods are critically analyzed. Recommendations are made for the choice of method.
