Elements of Psychophysical Theory, Paperback by Falmagne, Jean-Claude, ISBN 0195148320, ISBN-13 9780195148329, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK

The search for regularities and underlying laws tends to get neglected in contemporary psychophysics, a situation Falmagne (cognitive sciences, U. of California at Irvine) hopes to correct with this work. Utilizing modern psychophysical terminology he defends many of the elements of classical (or Fechnerian) psychophysics. Chapters cover such topics as models of discrimination, psychometric functions, signal detection theory, homogeneity laws, and scaling and the measurement of sensation.
