Psychophysical laws as reflection of mental space properties

Abstract: The paper is devoted to the relationship between psychophysics and physics of mind. The basic trends in psychophysics development are briefly discussed with special attention focused on Teghtsoonian's hypotheses. These hypotheses pose the concept of the universality of inner psychophysics and enable to speak about psychological space as an individual object with its own properties. Turning to the two-component description of human behavior (I. Lubashevsky, Physics of the Human Mind, Springer, 2017) the notion … Show more

“…Second, as put forward by Lubashevsky [28], the mental estimation is based on comparative operations with mental images of perceived entities, which makes it necessary to use the working memory. It is the capacity of working memory-the maximal number N m of different items that the working memory can store-that determines the relative (fuzzy) threshold κ ∼ 1/N m in recognizing quantitative changes in a controlled variable χ (χ = x, ẋ, η, η).…”

“…It is the minimal ratio = χ 1 /χ 2 admitting a quantitative estimate, i.e., the range of magnitudes of comparable stimuli [30]. The latter threshold can be related to the former one as ∼ κ 2 [28]. In the analyzed case, the subject continuously compares the current system deviation x and its rate v = ẋ with the corresponding critical values x c and v c .…”

“…Mental spaces are conceptual areas that, along with thinking and talking, help individuals understand and react to situations (Fauconnier and Turner, 1998). Mental spaces store mental images created from physical stimuli (Lubashevsky, 2019), indicating that memory storage is an associated activity. Childhood experiences and memories help build an individual's behavior.…”

“…Metastable, low-dimensional substrates reduce temporal dimensionality [ 102 , 103 , 104 ] and information density [ 105 , 106 ], focusing attention toward self-preservation. For example, the amygdala is one of the critical structures regulating personal space [ 107 , 108 ].…”
