Giulio holds a bag of 70 marbles in his hands. Jim blindfolds Giulio and keeps adding marbles to Giulio's bag, one at a time. However, Giulio notices the difference in the weight only after Jim has added 5 marbles. They now repeat the same experiment with a bag of 140 marbles. This time, Giulio notices the difference in the weight only after Jim has added 10 marbles. This scenario BEST illustrates:

Answer 1

Weber's Law

Explanation:

• Weber's law States that it is a mathematical model of the difference threshold stating that the magnitude needed to detect a physical change in a stimulus is proportional to the absolute magnitude of that stimulus. Thus, the more intense the stimulus, the greater the change that must be made in it to be noticed.
