Where Weber's Law Breaks Down

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

Show

The proportion needed for weight differs from the proportion needed for brightness, and both fail near threshold.

Watch for

Weber's law is a strong approximation across the middle range, not a law of nature.
