"Measurement and Representation of Sensations "offers a glimpse
into the most sophisticated current mathematical approaches to
psychophysical problems. In this book, editors Hans Colonius and
Ehtibar N. Dzhafarov, top scholars in the field, present a broad
spectrum of innovative approaches and techniques to classical
problems in psychophysics at different levels of stimulus
complexity. The chapters emphasize rigorous mathematical
constructions to define psychophysical concepts and relate them to
observable phenomena. The techniques presented, both deterministic
and probabilistic, are all original and recent.
Subjects addressed throughout the six chapters of this volume
include:
*computing subjective distances from discriminability;
*a new psychophysical theory of intensity judgments;
*computing subjective distances from two discriminability
functions;
*an alternative to the model-building approach based on observable
probabilities; and
*possible forms of perceptual separability developed within a
generalization of General Recognition Theory.
"Measurement and Representation of Sensations" is a valuable text
for both behavioral scientists and applied mathematicians.
