Preferred term

scaling of sensory magnitude  

Definition

  • Imagine strolling along a boardwalk at noon on a sunny day; how brightly the sunlight makes the sea sparkle! It's time for lunch and you enter a dimly lit restaurant. At first you can't see a thing—all seems black! But in a few minutes, you can see well enough to read the menu. [Source: Encyclopedia of Perception; Scaling of Sensory Magnitude]
