Simpson (1988) has argued that the method of constant stimuli is as efficient as adaptive methods of threshold estimation, and has supported this claim with simulations. We show that Simpson's simulations are not a reasonable model of the experimental process, and that more plausible simulations confirm that adaptive methods are much more efficient than the method of constant stimuli.
辛普森（1988年）认为，恒定刺激法与自适应阈值估计方法一样有效，并且通过模拟支持了这一观点。我们表明，辛普森的模拟并非实验过程的合理模型，而且更合理的模拟证实，自适应方法比恒定刺激法效率高得多。
