    Sensory adaptation
    Weber's law
    Difference threshold
    Absolute threshold
    30s
  • Q15
    According to Weber's law, how does the just noticeable difference (JND) relate to the intensity of the stimulus?
    It varies with the individual's perception only.
    It is a proportion of the original stimulus intensity.
    It increases exponentially with the stimulus intensity.
    It is a fixed amount regardless of the original intensity.
