This work admits the validity of the two forms of psychophysical theory by arguing that the same empirical phenomena should be conceptualized in two alternative, apparently contradictory, ways. The complementarity theory stresses the mutually completing nature of two distinct models.

Psychophysical theory exists in two distinct forms -- one ascribes the explanation of phenomena and empirical laws to sensory processes.

The other considers psychophysics only in terms of cognitive variables such as the judgment strategies induced by instructions and response biases. Sensory factors play a minor role in cognitive approaches.
