Perceptometry

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perceptometry ( percetometry ) in psychophysics is the measurement of perceptual processes . The first method of this kind was developed by Gunnar Borg using the Borg scale in Sweden in the late 1950s . Borg initially applied the scale to standardizable physical performance (e.g. on the ergometer ) and to sport. While in the German tradition following Iwan Petrowitsch Pawlow a stable relationship between load and strain was assumed (in interval training , therefore, the pulse values ​​were determined by Herbert Reindell ), Gösta Olander at the Fartlek in the Swedish tradition left the athletes with the load intensity and based on it Perception of the burden. Borg and subsequently the International Society for Psychophysics endeavor to make the connection between stress and its subjective perception quantifiable. The procedures assume that the mind, as a place of perception, can influence not only the control of psychophysical processes, but also their strength.
