Abstract

The problem of discreteness—continuity of sensory space, and as a consequence—of psychological space is considered. Different models used in psychophysics, different interpretation of the threshold problem in psychology, as well as different threshold theories lead to ambiguous understanding of this problem. Our model of psychological measurement is based on the concept of “generalized image” (GI). By definition, GI is a dynamic system that is in a continuous process of self-formation. This process can be represented as a continuous series of acts of comparison of the predicted state of the GI with the current one. As a result of such acts of comparison, a certain “measuring space” arises, in which further forecast of the state of the GI is carried out. Each stimulus set corresponds to a certain stable set of subjective characteristics (the main characteristics of the mental image of the stimulus set), which basically determine the psychological assessment of the stimulus. We call this stable set of subjective characteristics the quasi-objective scale. In the process of measurement, incentives are distributed along this scale in accordance with the degree of representation in them of certain subjective characteristics.
