AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Weber’s law, also called Weber-Fechner law, historically important psychological law quantifying the perception of change in a given stimulus. The law states that the change in a stimulus that will be just noticeable is a constant ratio of the original stimulus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Weber’s law is the idea that the just noticeable difference (or JND) between two stimuli is a constant proportion of the intensity of the original stimulus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Weber’s law states that the just noticeable difference in stimulus intensity may affect the production of sensations proportionally. In simple terms, we can say that the size of the intensity of stimuli will show a proportionate change in producing the sense experiences.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to Weber’s law, a fundamental principle of perception, sensitivity to changes in magnitude along a given physical dimension decreases when stimulus magnitude increases.

Detailed explanation-5: -Weber’s law states that the just noticeable difference is a constant proportion of the magnitude of the original stimulus. Cells with similar preferences are arranged closer together in the auditory cortex. According to the signal detection theory, the detection of stimuli involves decision and sensory processes.
