We noted earlier that SIMPLE depends in the confusability of pairs of items, and we focused purely on a single dimension, time. However, if time is not different (at least, in relevant respects) from any other psychological dimension in the same derivation can be applied to confusability between items on any dimension(e.g. weight, brightness, or loudness). Neath, Brown, McCormack, Chater, and Freeman (2006) noted, indeed, that the application of SIMPLE successfully captures a wide range of phenomena in the task of absolute magnitude idenification, where participants assign numerical labels to a fixed set of stimuli, with feedback (although, for a more precise model, see Stewart, Brown, & Chater, 2005).

Don't ask me what it's about. It's a journal article and I haven't read it yet. Looks interesting though.
