Hering has won a high place among psychol- ogists by his contributions to psychophysics. His name is especially associated with four features of this science, by ( 1 ) his investigations into visual space perception, hcrein he argued for the nativistic or physiological theory against the 'empiristic' position of Helmholtz; (2) his treatise on memory as a general function of or- ganized matter; (3) his attack upon Fechner's 'fundamental law of psychophysics,' otherwise known as 'Weber's law:' and (4) his theory of color vision, which stands out in sharp rivalry with that of Helmholtz.
