Psychophysical theory exists in two distinct forms -- one ascribes the explanation of phenomena and empirical laws to sensory processes. Context effects arising through the use of particular methods are an unwanted nuisance whose influence must be eliminated so that one isolates the "true" sensory scale. The other considers psychophysics only in terms of cognitive variables such as the judgment strategies induced by instructions and response biases. Sensory factors play a minor role in cognitive approaches. This work admits the validity of both forms of theory by arguing that the same empirical phenomena should be conceptualized in two alternative, apparently contradictory, ways. This acceptance of opposites is necessary because some empirical phenomena are best explained in terms of sensory processes, while others are best ascribed to central causes. The complementarity theory stresses the "mutually completing" nature of two distinct models. The first assigns importance to populations of sensory neurons acting in the aggregate and is formulated to deal with sensory effects. The second assigns importance to judgment uncertainty and to the subject strategies induced by experimental procedures. This model is formulated to explain context effects. Throughout the text, the exposition is interlaced with mathematics, graphs, and computer simulations designed to reveal the complementary nature of psychophysical explanations.

Excerpt from Judgment as Belief At the end of our first advance toward the realization of a belief in the existence Of external Objects present to the senses, we have the conviction that, in such and such circumstances, we should have such and such sensations. But the mind does not stop here. The sensation that, under certain conditions, I believe I may have, is an effect that owes its existence to a still more fundamental existence acting as its cause. And by association which Obtains irresistibly between cause and effect, we are carried beyond the sensations that fuse to make the rose of our ideas, to the corresponding qualities that cause these sensations, and that inhere in a single object or substratum which unites them as the mind did the several sensations, but with the result that we have a real objective rose. That this is the genesis and essence Of a sense Object, and a sufficient apology for our ardent belief in it, Mill stands ready to prove with the best of illustrations.

Excerpt from Suspended Judgments, Essays on Books and Sensations The world divides itself into people who can discriminate and people who cannot discriminate. This is the ultimate test of sensitiveness; and sensitiveness alone separates us and unites us. We all create, or have created for us by the fatality of our temperament, a unique and individual universe. It is only by bringing into light the most secret and subtle elements of this self-contained system of things that we can find out where our lonely orbits touch. Like all primordial aspects of life the situation is double-edged and contradictory. The further we emphasise and drag forth, out of their reluctant twilight, the lurking attractions and antipathies of our destiny, the nearer, at once, and the more obscure, we find ourselves growing, to those about us. And the wisdom of the difficult game we are called upon to play, lies in just this very antinomy, - in just this very contradiction - that to make ourselves better understood we have to emphasise our differences, and to touch the universe of our friend we have to travel away from him, on a curve of free sky.

Excerpt from The Time of Perception as a Measure of Differences in Sensations Whipple,2 in his study Of the discrimination of clangs and tones, took account of the relation of the speed Of judgment to certainty and correctness Of judgment as well as the relation Of speed and immediacy to correctness. The judgments fell into at most four categories as to speed, introspectively noted. The immediate judgments were found to be usually both correct and certain, while compared judgments were more Often uncertain and incorrect. Angeli,3 in a study of discrimination of shades of gray for different intervals of time, measured to tenths Of a second the time of delivering the discriminative judgment. The times were determined for the four categories of judgment, 'sure, ' 'fairly sure, ' 'like' and 'doubtful, ' for the four intervals of time 5, 15, 30 and 60 seconds. The results showed that 'like' judgments are longest, 'sure' judgments shortest, with 'fairly sure intermediate. This historical summary of the applications of the method indicates that the method has been used systematically in but two investiga tions and that these are preliminary and concerned more with the method as such than with the measurement of differences in sensa tions. The present research, it is believed, gives not only certain positive results by the method, but also a definite confirmation Of its validity and value.

Handbook of Perception, Volume II: Psychophysical Judgment and Measurement brings together a very large, diverse, and widely scattered literature on human perception, with emphasis on psychophysical judgement and measurement. The book reviews the history of research on choice, judgement, and measurement in order to provide a background for contemporary work. This volume is organized into five sections encompassing 14 chapters and begins with a historical background on psychophysics and the evolution of thinking about the central measurement problem in judgement. The basic psychological context in which choice and judgement occur is considered next, touching on topics such as the problem of information selection and the sources of bias and variability in judgemental processes in relation to memory. The chapters that follow discuss the theoretical frame of measurement models and their applications. In particular, examples of algebraic fundamental measurement, algebraic derived measurement, and probabilistic derived measurement are given. The book also introduces the reader to various psychophysical scaling methods and theories of scaling. This book will serve as a basic source and reference work for psychologists and natural scientists, as well as for anyone in the arts or sciences or those who are interested in human perception.
