Sensory Thresholds absolute threshold: minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus 50% of the time difference threshold (jnd): minimum difference between two stimuli that one can detect 50% of the time —increases with magnitude of stimulus

Weber’s Law The principle that the jnd for any given sense is a constant fraction or proportion of the stimulation being judged.The principle that the jnd for any given sense is a constant fraction or proportion of the stimulation being judged.
