Psychophysics! (Intro Psych Tutorial #41)

In this video I introduce psychophysics and explain the difference between the absolute threshold and the difference threshold (or just noticeable difference). I also discuss the difficulties of measuring our sensitivity to stimulation and provide a simple demonstration of Weber's Law, which is that the difference threshold relates to proportions of change rather than amounts of change.

Still helpful until this year, and for many more years to come. It reinforces learning as well, since the professor/lecturer is quite a looker. As a graduate student of clinical psych who is doing advanced readings and study, this video makes me more interested in this particular topic in Development of Psychological Thought. Thank you, @PsychExamReview

One of the best Psychology lectures. Great. Thanks sir. Very natural way to teach and talk. I also love the natural backgroun. Great Idea sir. I do not like all other tutorials that look like Formal classrooms.

I'm here because our professor want us to make an essay about this and he hasn't taught anything for the past 2 months since our virtual class on September.

What are the elements of psycho physics?

Hi! Do you know is there a possibility for human to become a cyclope in future and why do we have two eyes? My assignment is about this question and I would be very happy if you can answer. :)
