Prime-sight and blindsight
Pupillary Responses With and Without Awareness in Blindsight
Trying to bridge some neuropsychological gaps between monkey and man
It is puzzling that some gross anatomical systems in the brains of monkeys and men appear to function quite differently although there is no established basis for this either in their fine-grained anatomical organizations or, in the inherent behavioural capacities of the two species. It is suggested that in some instances the discrepancies may arise because inappropriate tests have been used with the animals, and examples are given of positive ev…
Problems and Progress in Physiological Psychology
The general aims of physiological psychology research are set out. It is argued that theoretical accounts of behavioural mechanisms that ignore physiological findings may be in danger of being irrelevant. There are inherent methodological difficulties in conducting brain and behaviour research, but these are not insuperable and are sometimes misinterpreted. Progress is made generally when a number of different technical approaches can converge on…
On Some Psychophysical Techniques Employing a Single Manipulandum
Four techniques are described which permit single bar‐press apparatus to be used for generation of psychophysical functions. Bate of response is a useful dependent variable for measuring strength of behaviour associated with negative stimulus in two of methods. When a warning signal is introduced with discrete negative and positive stimuli, situation becomes logically akin to traditional infra‐human psychophysical procedures. Bate of response is …
