Relational Psychophysics in Humans and Animals

<p><em>Relational Psychophysics in Humans and Animals</em> offers a comprehensive and integrated overview of the often fragmented field of psychophysics. It introduces key concepts in psychophysics and clearly summarises and illustrates the central issues through telling examples. It combines empirical research and theoretical approaches from general psychophysics animal psychophysics and human-infant psychophysics to create a systematic comparison of these three key areas. </p><p>Through out Viktor Sarris makes a strong case for more comparative psychophysical research across different species and across different stages of development. He presents original research and examines frame-of-reference models behavioural psychophysics developmental psychophysics perceptual-cognitive psychophysics and evolutionary perspectives to create an integrated framework for the direction of new research.</p><p>The book will be an invaluable aid for researchers in the fields of perception and psychophysics.</p>
