QUEST+

QUEST+ (Watson, 2017) is an extension of QUEST (Watson & Pelli, 1983) that can deal with multiple stimulus parameters, multiple psychometric parameters, and more than two responses options. The jsQuestPlus JavaScript library allows researchers to use the QUEST+ method in online experiments.

Installation

The package is available on npm.

npm install jsquest-plus

Many thanks to @tpronk and @mieubrisse for their help.

How to use

See the GitHub page and Customization of Psychometric function

Demonstrations

The demos folder contains some sample code.

Example1stim1psy2respWatson(2017).html

This is the sample code for Watson's first example: "Estimation of contrast threshold {1, 1, 2}". The threshold is estimated using the stimulus parameter (contrast) and responses described in Watson's paper.

Simulation1stim1psy2respWatson(2017).html

This file is the same as Example_1stim_1psy_2resp_Watson(2017).html, except that it simulates the observer's response. The final estimate will change slightly each time you run the program.

Example2stim3psy2respWatson(2017).html

This is the sample code for Watson's forth example: "Contrast sensitivity function {2, 3, 2}". The psychometric parameters are estimated using the stimulus parameters and responses described in Watson's paper.

Simulation2stim3psy2respWatson(2017).html

This file is the same as Example_2stim_3psy_2resp_Watson(2017).html, except that it simulates the observer's response. The final estimates will change slightly each time you run the program.

jsPsychDemo/jsQuestPlus_jsPsychDemo.html

This is the sample code for jsPsych users. This simulates Watson's second example: "Estimation of contrast threshold, slope, and lapse {1, 3, 2}".

Convenience functions

  • The numeric.js library developed by Sébastien Loisel under the MIT licence performs matrix/array calculations at high speeds. This library is included in jsQuestPlus, with some of its functions available by prefixing them with jsQuestPlus.: abs, add, cos, dim, div, dot, exp, floor, isFinite, isNaN, linspace, log, mod, mul, pow, round, sin, sqrt, sub, sum, transpose.

Information for developers

Installation

Install node, then clone the repo to your hard drive. Next, you can install jsQuestPlus and its dependencies by running:

npm install

Building jsQuestPlus

To package jsQuestPlus and it's dependencies, and export those as UMD bundle, run the command below. Your bundle will be available in the dist/ directory:

npx rollup -c

Notes

jsQuestPlus depends on a fork of the numeric library, which turns this library into an ES6 module.
