What is the relationship between the intensity of the stimulus and the intensity of the sensation?Intensity of a sensation is directly proportional to the intensity of the physical stimulus raised to a constant power.
How does the difference threshold for a stimulus relate to the intensity of the stimulus?The Difference Threshold (or "Just Noticeable Difference") is the minimum amount by which stimulus intensity must be changed in order to produce a noticeable variation in sensory experience.
Which theory proposes that as physical stimulus intensity R grows larger the sensation intensity's increases logarithmically?Fechner's law states that the subjective sensation is proportional to the logarithm of the stimulus intensity.
