Weber's Law |
JND = ki |
K is constant, I is intensity |
|
Weber's Constant |
K, depends on sense |
|
|
Psychophysical scaling |
Relationship: intensity and perceived intesity |
|
|
Fechner' law |
Perceived intensity = k(ln(i/io)) |
S is perceived intensity, io is absolute threshold |
|
Steven's law |
Perceived intensity = ci^n |
C is constant depend on s and n, n depends on sense |
