1、Designation: E2164 16Standard Test Method forDirectional Difference Test1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2164; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses

2、indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a procedure for comparing twoproducts using a two-alternative forced-choice task.1.2 This method is sometimes referred to as a paired

3、comparison test or as a 2-AFC (alternative forced choice) test.1.3 A directional difference test determines whether a dif-ference exists in the perceived intensity of a specified sensoryattribute between two samples.1.4 Directional difference testing is limited in its applicationto a specified senso

5、ot address preference.1.6 A directional difference test is a simple task forassessors, and is used when sensory fatigue or carryover is aconcern. The directional difference test does not exhibit thesame level of fatigue, carryover, or adaptation as multiplesample tests such as triangle or duo-trio t

6、ests. For detail oncomparisons among the various difference tests, see Ennis (1),MacRae (2), and OMahony and Odbert (3).21.7 The procedure of the test described in this documentconsists of presenting a single pair of samples to the assessors.1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of thesa

7、fety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

10、ce level).3.2.2 (beta) riskthe probability of concluding that noperceptible difference exists when, in reality, one does (alsoknown as type II error).3.2.3 one-sided testa test in which the researcher has an apriori expectation concerning the direction of the difference. Inthis case, the alternative

11、 hypothesis will express that theperceived intensity of the specified sensory attribute is greater(that is, AB) (or lower (that is, A 65 % represents “large” values.8.3 Having defined the required sensitivity for the test using8.2, use Table 1 or Table 2 to determine the number ofassessors necessary

12、. Enter the table in the section correspond-ing to the selected value of Pmaxand the column correspondingto the selected value of . The minimum required number ofassessors is found in the row corresponding to the selectedvalue of . Alternatively, Table 1 or Table 2 can be used todevelop a set of val

13、ues for Pmax, , and that provideacceptable sensitivity while maintaining the number of asses-sors within practical limits.8.4 Often in practice, the number of assessors is determinedby material conditions (e.g., duration of the experiment,number of available assessors, quantity of sample). However,i

14、ncreasing the number of assessors increases the likelihood ofdetecting small differences. Thus, one should expect to uselarger numbers of assessors when trying to demonstrate thatsamples are similar compared to when one is trying to showthey are different.9. Procedure9.1 Prepare serving order worksh

15、eet and ballot in advanceof the test to ensure a balanced order of sample presentation ofthe two samples, A and B. Balance the serving sequences ABand BA across all assessors. Serving order worksheets shouldalso include complete sample identification information. SeeAppendix X1.9.2 It is critical to

16、 the validity of the test that assessorscannot identify the samples from the way in which they arepresented. For example, in a test evaluating flavor differences,one should avoid any subtle differences in temperature orappearance caused by factors such as the time sequence ofpreparation. It may be p

17、ossible to mask color differences usinglight filters, subdued illumination or colored vessels. Code thevessels containing the samples in a uniform manner using3-digit numbers chosen at random for each test. Preparesamples out of sight and in an identical manner: sameapparatus, same vessels, same qua

18、ntities of sample (see GuideE1871-91).9.3 Present each pair of samples simultaneously wheneverpossible, following the same spatial arrangement for eachassessor (on a line to be sampled always from left to right, orfrom front to back, etc.). Within the pair, assessors are typicallyallowed to make rep

19、eated evaluations of each sample asdesired. If the conditions of the test require the prevention ofrepeat evaluations, for example, if samples are bulky, leave anaftertaste, or show slight differences in appearance that cannotbe masked, present the samples monadically (or sequentialmonadic) and do n

20、ot allow repeated evaluations.9.4 Ask only one question about the samples. The selectionthe assessor has made on the initial question may bias the replyto subsequent questions about the samples. Responses toadditional questions may be obtained through separate tests forpreference, acceptance, degree

21、 of difference, etc. See Cham-bers and Baker Wolf (9).Asection soliciting comments may beincluded following the initial forced-choice question.9.5 The directional difference test is a forced-choice proce-dure; assessors are not allowed the option of reporting “nodifference.” An assessor who detects

22、no difference between thesamples should be instructed to make a guess and select one ofthe samples, and can indicate in the comments section that theselection was only a guess.10. Analysis and Interpretation of Results10.1 The procedure used to analyze the results of a direc-tional difference test d

23、epends on the number of assessors.10.1.1 If the number of assessors is equal to or greater thanthe value given in Table 1 (for a one-sided alternative) or Table2 (for a two-sided alternative) for the chosen values of , , andPmax, then use Table 3 to analyze the data obtained from aone-sided test and

24、 Table 4 to analyze the data from a two-sidedE2164 163test. If the number of common responses is equal to or greaterthan the number given in the table, conclude that a perceptibleattribute difference exists between the samples. If the numberof common responses is less than the number given in thetab

25、le, conclude that the samples are similar in attribute inten-sity and that no more than Pmaxof the population wouldperceive the difference at a confidence level equal to 1-.Again, the conclusions are based on the risks accepted whenthe sensitivity (that is, Pmax, , and ) was selected indetermining t

26、he number of assessors.10.1.2 If the number of assessors is less than the value givenin Table 1 or Table 2 for the chosen values of , , and Pmaxandthe researcher is primarily interested in testing for a difference,then use Table 3 to analyze the data obtained from a one-sidedtest or Table 4 to analy

27、ze the data obtained from a two-sidedtest. If the number of common responses is equal to or greaterthan the number given in the table, conclude that a perceptibleattribute difference exists between the samples at the -level ofsignificance.10.1.3 If the number of assessors is less than the value give

28、nin Table 1 or Table 2 for the chosen values of , , and Pmaxandthe researcher is primarily interested in testing for similarity,then a one-sided confidence interval is used to analyze the dataobtained from the test.
