  • The Wave Theory of Difference and Similarity

    by Stephen W. Link ...
    Series series Psychology Revivals
    Two experimental procedures prompted the empirical development of psychophysical models: those that measure response frequency, often referred to as response probability; and those that measure response time, sometimes referred to as reaction time. The history of psychophysics is filled with theories that predict one or the other of these two responses. Yet the persistent reappearance of empirical ... Read more

    Sensation, Cognition, and Constancy

As we shift our gaze or move about the world, the light projected onto the retinas is constantly changing. Yet the surrounding objects appear stable in their properties. Psychologists have long been interested in constancies, exploring questions such ... Read more

  • Cognitive Psychology and Information Processing

    An Introduction

    by R. Lachman, J. L. Lachman, E. C. Butterfield ...
    First published in 1979. Basic research, at its essence, is exploration of the unknown. When it is successful, isolated pieces of reality are deciphered and described. Most of the history of an empirical discipline consists of probes into this darkness-some bold, others careful and systematic. Most of these efforts are initially incorrect. At best, they are distant approximations to a reality that ... Read more

  • The Geometries of Visual Space

    by Mark Wagner ...
    When most people think of space, they think of physical space. However, visual space concerns space as consciously experienced, and it is studied through subjective measures, such as asking people to use numbers to estimate perceived distances, areas, angles, or volumes. This book explores the mismatch between perception and physical reality, and describes the many factors that influence the ... Read more

  • Cognition as Intuitive Statistics

    by Gerd Gigerenzer, David J. Murray ...
    Series series Psychology Revivals
    Originally published in 1987, this title is about theory construction in psychology. Where theories come from, as opposed to how they become established, was almost a no-man’s land in the history and philosophy of science at the time. The authors argue that in the science of mind, theories are particularly likely to come from tools, and they are especially concerned with the emergence of the ... Read more

  • Multidimensional Models of Perception and Cognition

    Edited by F. Gregory Ashby ...
    Series series Scientific Psychology Series
    The mental representations of perceptual and cognitive stimuli vary on many dimensions. In addition, because of quantal fluctuations in the stimulus, spontaneous neural activity, and fluctuations in arousal and attentiveness, mental events are characterized by an inherent variability. During the last several years, a number of models and theories have been developed that explicitly assume the ... Read more
