Differential Threshold
(Just Noticeable Difference – j.n.d.)
• Minimal difference that can be detected
between two similar stimuli
• Weber’s law
– The j.n.d. between two stimuli is not an absolute
amount but an amount relative to the intensity of
the first stimulus
– The stronger the initial stimulus, the greater the
additional intensity needed for the second
stimulus to be perceived as different.

Marketing Applications
of the J.N.D.
• Marketers need to
determine the
relevant j.n.d. for
their products
– so that negative
changes are not
readily discernible to
the public
– so that product
improvements are
very apparent to
consumers
