Page 4: History of Psychophysics
Early discipline in experimental psychology.
Gustav Fechner coined the term ‘psychophysics’ in 1860.
His work focused on the relationship between ‘matter and mind’; foundational in psychology as a science.
Fechner (1801-1887).
Page 5: Definition of Psychophysics
Importance of the physical properties of stimuli: content, magnitude, timing.
Psychophysics defined as:
“The analysis of perceptual processes by studying the effect on a participant’s experience or behaviour of systematically varying the properties of a stimulus along one or more physical dimensions.”
Source: Bruce V, Green PR, Georgeson MA (1996). Visual perception. Psychology Press.
Page 6: Importance of Studying Perception
Significant focus on perception in psychology; 50% of the cortex is dedicated to it.
All actions stem from sensation, influencing emotions, imagination, and perceptions of reality.
Realization that perception is subjective; influenced by age, gender, and disability.

Page 9: Comparison of Psychophysics and Cognitive Psychology
Key Differences
Cognitive Psychology:
Focus on mental processes, long-duration present stimuli, complex stimuli interpretation.
Primary measure: Reaction Time; secondary measure is accuracy.
Psychophysics:
Focus on sensory processes, brief stimuli, and simple compositions.
Primary measure: Accuracy; Reaction Times often disregarded.
