Fechners assumption and law | Fechner assumed that jnds were subjectively equal. equal sensation differences correspond to equal stimulus ratios. S=klogI |
Straight line on a log-log scale | indicates a relationship between y and x that is power not logarithmic |
Emperical data gave what type of function on a linear-log scale, and what did that mean? | You get a power relation (curved line), not a logarithmic relation (straight line). This meant that emperical data was incongruous with fechners law |
Steven's power law | S=kI(exponent) Resulting in equal sensation ratios corresponding to equal stimulus ratios |
Exponent tells us? | The relation between the ratios of S & I |
Response linearity | I increases and also S increases at a constant rate |
Response Compression | exponent<1 As I increases, S increases at a decreasing rate |
Response Expansion | exponent > 1 As I increases, S increases at an increasing rate |
Log law is? | An indirect measure of sensory magnitude But also consistent with category scaling (much lighter, lighter, heavier, much heavier) |
Power law is? | A direct estimate of sensory magnitude Handles compression and expansion Versitile |
