Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A psychometric function is a curve that represents the relationship between a measure of perception (such as response accuracy or likelihood of perceiving a stimulus) and the physical intensity of a stimulus. The shape of the curve can provide information about how sensory information is processed and how well sensory systems function. The staircase method is a psychophysical method used to measure thresholds for detecting a stimulus. While a neuropsychological function may relate to brain processes involved in perception, it is not directly related to psychometric functions.
