Example

• The value function for “working hours” is determined using difference standard sequence in the job selection problem.

• Find a sequence of working hours xi i = 1, 2,…, such that the increments in strength of preference from xi to xi+1 are equal for all i.

• The zero level of value function and unit stimulus are first determined.

  • As ”weekly working hours” ranges from 37.5h to 55h and less working time is preferred to more, set v(55)=0.
  • Let the unit step be defined by, v(50)=1.
  • Let x1 = 55 and x2 = 50.
