Preferred term

lens model  

Definition

  • The lens model originated in Egon Brunswik's concept of probabilistic functionalism, which is primarily a theory of perception. Brunswik was convinced that the methods of psychological research during the first half of the 20th century were wrongheaded, especially with regard to the “rule of one variable,” which many held was the only way to do psychological science.
