The parameters in the near-miss-to-Weber's law

Analytical methods in the theory of psychophysical discrimination II: The Near-miss to Weber's Law, Falmagne's Law, the Psychophysical Power Law and the Law of Similarity

“…As a last footnote to this work, let us mention the very interesting recent developments of Augustin (2006), who approaches Falmagne's Psychophysical Law in the context of psychometric models of the discrimination probabilities. Augustin's models lie outside Fechnerian psychophysics however.…”

Affine representations in psychophysics and the near-miss to Weber’s law

“…7 We do not go into details here. These results can also be used to help clarify the functional forms outlined in other closely related studies such as the one by Augustin (2008).…”

“…This kind of representation includes a large family of psychometric functions, including the Weibull, as special cases. This formulation generalizes the Type A class of models discussed in Augustin (2008) …”

“…Following Falmagne (1982) on ''anchored'' psychometric families (see also Augustin, 2008), we adopt the concept of a weakly balanced system. Definition 2.…”

Visual complexity of egg patterns predicts egg rejection according to Weber's law

“…Here, we showed that host discrimination of complexity adheres to Weber's law, and therefore that the relative difference is a more important trait to measure than the absolute difference. Furthermore, host discrimination follows Weber's law rather than the near- or opposite-miss to Weber's law [ 37 , 40 , 55 ]. Although we studied complexity because complex patterning remains understudied, Weber's law could also apply to other traits processed by hosts, for which it must be tested independently.…”
