AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Weber’s Law states that rather than a constant, absolute amount of change, there must be a constant percentage change for two stimuli to be perceived as different. In other words, the higher the intensity of a stimulus, the more it will need to change so we can notice a difference.

Detailed explanation-2: -Weber’s law: the principle that, to be perceived as different, two stimuli must differ by a constant percentage (rather than a constant amount). Sensory adaptation: diminished sensitivity as a consequence of constant stimulation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Weber’s law. According to Weber’s law, instead of differing by a constant amount, the difference between two stimuli must be of a certain constant minimum percentage in order to actually be perceived.

Detailed explanation-4: -Weber’s law is the principle that states that the just-noticeable difference between two stimuli is a function of the magnitude of the original stimulus. This means that the larger the original stimulus, the larger the just noticeable difference needs to be for it to be detected.

Detailed explanation-5: -Weber’s law states that the discrimination threshold or “just noticeable difference” (JND) is proportional to stimulus amplitude (1).
