Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weber's law states that the just noticeable difference (jnd) for a given stimulus is a constant proportion or percentage of the magnitude of the stimulus. This means that the difference between two stimuli must be a certain percentage of the original stimulus in order for the difference to be noticeable. For example, the jnd for weight is about 2%, so a 100-gram object would need to be changed to 102 grams in order for the difference to be noticeable.
