Weber's law states that the smallest noticeable difference in the intensity of a stimulus is proportional to the intensity of the stimulus. In this case, adding one candle to a room with 100 lit candles would not result in a noticeable difference in brightness, as the overall intensity of the stimulus (light) is already high. This is an example of Weber's law. Sensory adaptation refers to the process by which our sensory receptors adjust to constant stimulation over time, leading to a decline in sensitivity. Perceptual constancy refers to the tendency to perceive objects as relatively stable and unchanging despite changes in sensory input. The Law of Effect is a principle in psychology that states behavior that is followed by positive consequences is more likely to be repeated, while behavior that is followed by negative consequences is less likely to be repeated. None of these concepts directly explain the example given.
