2.05pounds andasked whetherthis814one isdifferent fromthe first.Because the change isso small,the personwill notbe ableto detectthe difference.Next,theperson isgivena

2.2-pound weight,and thistime theycan detectthe change.This wouldbe theJND.Furthermore,iftheintensity ofthe original stimulus increases,thechangerequiredforapersontodetectit alsoincreases.In thecase ofour classroomand concertsituations earlier,when thenoise intensityintheclassroom waslow,awhisper wasdetectable.Likewise,when thenoise intensityattheconcert wasvery high,shouting wasrequired toget theattentionof yourfriend.The Weber-Fechner Lawhas far-reaching implicationsin psychology,marketing,andotherfields.For example,inmarketing,companies oftenuse thelaw toprice products.A smallprice increaseonalow-priced itemis morenoticeablethan thesame increaseonahigh-priced item.Therefore,companies oftenuse differentstrategies forpricing inexpensiveandexpensive products.（适度的）The Weber-Fechner Lawhas itslimitations.It ismore accurateat moderatestimulus intensitiesbut lesssoat extremelyhigh orlow intensities.If we are exposedto anintense stimulus,weareless likelyto noticea nuancedstimulussimply becausethe comparisonbetween thetwo istoo great.This suggestsa blindspot inhuman perception.
