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 i…
"In SENSORY EXPERIMENTS Erica Fretwell considers the science of psychophysics, the study of sensory experience, in mid-nineteenth century America. In particular, Fretwell traces the development of "perceptual sensitivity," a metric of an individual's capacity to perceive finer f…
