Description:
This book is a lively account by one of experimental psychology's seminal figures of his lifelong quest for general laws governing human behavior. It captures the fundamental themes of Stevens's research and his vision of what psychophysics and psychology are and can be. The context of this modern classic is detailed by Lawrence Marks's pungent and highly revealing introduction. Methods of measuring human psychophysical behavior: magnitude estimation, magnitude production, and cross-modality matching, are used to examine sensory mechanisms, perceptual processes, and social consensus.
