Psychophysics #1

Fichas del conjunto (14)
- 1Psychophysics is primarily concerned with...The relationship between the properties of a stimulus (stimulus intensity) and the perception or experience of that stimulus
- 2What are overt behavioural reponses and what are they used for?In optometry they ask subjects whether something seems clearer, in perception research they ask if a light is brighter. Also monitoring "preferential looking" or behavioural responses to stimuli
- 3Absolute ThresholdThe smallest stimuli intensity required for perception
- 4The detection problemIs there something there? What is the minimum amount of stimulus energy required to detect a stimulus?
- 5The discrimination problemIs this different from that? What is the smallest amount of stimulus energy change which results in a discrimination
- 6Scaling ProblemHow much of the property is there?
- 7Difference ThresholdSame as discrimination problem. Minimum change in stimulus energy required to equal change in reported experience
- 8—Method of Limits. Begin either with easily detectable stimulus or non-detectable stimulus and Ascend/Descend until you reach a change in reported experience

- 9—Method of Constant Stimuli. Randomise the possible intensities and then have participants report existance of experience or not

- 10—A theoretical graphic Representation of the results of a method of constant stimulus measureing thresholds

- 11—An emperical graphic Representation of the results of a method of constant stimulus measuring thresholds. This is a psychometric function, or ogive

- 12AT in psychometric functions is...When there is equal "yes" and "no" responses, i.e. at 50%
- 13—Examples of Absolute detections

- 14Response Biases"Liberal" subjects have a tendency to answer "yes" when uncertain, "Conservative" subjects will answer "no" when uncertain.
