Key result
A proposed matching-response model of psychophysical judgment suggests that observed differences in exponent for various modalities reflect differences in coupling coefficients.
The paper proposes a theoretical matching-response model of psychophysical judgment to explain power-law relationships between perceived intensity and stimulus strength.

A matching-response model reconciles power-law perception with logarithmic receptors; leaves open empirical tests of coupling coefficients across modalities.
Caster et al. (1963) studied this question. A proposed matching-response model of psychophysical judgment suggests that observed differences in exponent for various modalities reflect differences in coupling coefficients.
