Question

psychophysics is a discipline in psychology that focuses solely on the identification of stimuli.

t
f

Explanation:

Analyze the definition of psychophysics

Psychophysics is the scientific study of the relation between physical stimuli and the sensations and perceptions they evoke. It is not limited solely to the identification of stimuli; it also investigates detection (absolute thresholds), discrimination (difference thresholds/just noticeable differences), and scaling (the quantitative relationship between stimulus intensity and sensory magnitude).

Evaluate the statement

Because psychophysics investigates detection, discrimination, scaling, and sensory thresholds rather than focusing "solely on the identification of stimuli," the statement is false.

Answer:

• T
• F (Correct answer)
