Some continua, like area and volume, produce response expansion: cach increase in physical magnitude causes less and less increase in perceived magnitude. True or False?

Final answer:

True. Some continua, like area and volume, exhibit response expansion where an increase in physical magnitude causes less and less increase in perceived magnitude.

Step-by-step explanation:

True. Some continua, like area and volume, exhibit response expansion, where an increase in physical magnitude causes less and less increase in perceived magnitude. This is evident in the relationship between amplitude and perceived magnitude. As volume decreases, the perceived magnitude decreases even if the physical magnitude of the stimulus remains the same. This can be observed in wave amplitudes where the physical magnitude decreases as volume decreases.
