Synopsis:
Excerpt from The Application of Statistical Methods to the Problems of Psychophysics
The following study deals with the methods which serve for the determination of the threshold of difference. These methods can be easily adapted to the determination of the maximum and minimum stimulation, so that it seemed justified to refer in the title of the book to the problems of psychophysics in general. These problems are treated by such propositions of _the calculus of probabilities as apply to the results of observations of statistical numbers of relative frequency. The term statistical method has two slightly different meanings. The first refers to the method of collecting observations on a group of individuals or on one indi vidual at different times. The data obtained in this way must be subjected to some kind of treatment and the term statistical method refers in its second meaning to every algorithm for the numerical evaluation of these data or to every definite method by which conclusions can be drawn from them. One may say in gen eral that, a problem is treated statistically, if the data are collected with a view to determining certain numbers of frequency which serve as a basis for further deductions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book deals with the methods utilized to measure the difference threshold, which is the minimum recognizable difference between two stimuli. The author presents a series of experiments using lifted weights to explore and demonstrate these methods. Key concepts in psychophysics, such as probability, thresholds, and reaction times, are elucidated and analyzed. The author argues that statistical methods, rather than the traditional method of average error, better determine the underlying probabilities at work in psychophysical phenomena. The author presents a new method, the method of just noticeable differences, as a more efficient and accurate alternative to the method of just noticeable differences. Ultimately, this book provides a structured analysis of the foundational methods of psychophysics and offers new insights into the measurement of sensory differences. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333229764_0
