第4周实验心理学（Fourth weeks experimental psychology） Chapter Fourth Psychological Physics 1. The traditional methods of psychological physics can be divided into two categories, one is the measurement of sensory threshold, the other is the measurement of sensory threshold, that is, the production of mental scale. 2. Since the 1950s, Tanner and sweets have introduced the signal detection theory into the field of psychology, which provides a new powerful tool for the research of psychological physics. 3, the premise of Fechners law is two: ① assumes that Webers ratio is constant at different levels of stimulation, and that the ② at all levels of J. N. D are equal, that is, the difference between subjective and just felt is the same at different levels of stimulation. 4. SDT puts forward two hypotheses. One thought that repetitive presentation of the same stimulus did not produce the same amount of sensation. Another thought that the test was based on its own subjective criteria to determine whether a sensation was caused by a signal or noise, and that the criterion could be changed by the probability of SN presentation and the effect of the two factors on the reward and punishment of the reaction. 5, unlike the classical psychological physics, signal detection theory can distinguish between humans sensibility and its Judgment standard. 6, in the case of the probability of the signal to remain constant, the rewards and punishments can lead to different motivational levels and finally to beta. When rewards and punishments are encouraged to say more signals, β is low; when the rewards and punishments are encouraged to speak less, beta is high. Noun Explanation: 1, psychological physics-psychological physics is a branch of psychology that studies the relationship between the mind and the quantity of the heart. Fechner is defined as a study of the precise science of functional relationships between psychosomatic or cardiac objects. 2, sensory thresholds--we can feel only a small
