To see what Fechner's Scale of Sensation would be like for loudness, for example, we may think of the scale as a ladder. Now let us imagine an experiment. Suppose I turn on a very faint sound, so faint that you cannot hear it. I increase its intensity until it stands just at your absolute threshold, where you can barely hear it. That gives us the first step on the ladder. I now increase the intensity until you say yes, that is louder—louder by a JND [just noticeable difference], which gives us the next step on the ladder.  3, record 1, English, - Fechner%27s%20Scale%20of%20Sensation

Échelle de Fechner. Échelle de mesure des sensations élémentaires établie en faisant estimer des différences justes perceptibles entre deux stimulus semblables. (En ordonnant les échelons successifs ainsi observés, on obtient une échelle unidimensionnelle. Fechner a postulé que les échelons ainsi définis correspondent à une grandeur subjective constante).  2, record 1, French, - %C3%89chelle%20de%20Fechner

The phatic function which sets for "contact" establishes, prolongs or discontinues the communication. We use this function to know whether the channel works or whether the contact is still there. Our purpose in this function [is] to maintain the contact with the person we are talking to. For example :"Hello!" "Are you listening?" "Do you hear me?"  2, record 2, English, - phatic%20function

La fonction phatique, quant à elle, vise à maintenir le contact entre émetteur et récepteur. Dans la phrase «Dis donc Jean, tu es toujours en retard», l'interjection «dis donc» est une manifestation de la fonction phatique.  2, record 2, French, - fonction%20phatique

Knowledge bases are not the same as the data base we often hear about... Suppose you are a physician.... Your data base is that patient's record, including patient history, measurements of vital signs, drugs given, response to drugs, and so on. It's today's problem. You must interpret these data for, say, purposes of continuing diagnosis and therapy planning. To do this, you use your medical knowledge.  2, record 3, English, - AI%20data%20base
