Explain how response expansion works, using an example to illustrate the concept.
What will be an ideal response?
Student examples will vary. A sample answer follows. Response expansion occurs when an increase in the strength of a stimulus is accompanied by a disproportionate increase in a person's perceptual response to it. For example, if someone hearing a loud sound ranks their discomfort at 2 out of 10 on a pain scale, doubling the volume would result in the person ranking their pain at more than double, or a number greater than 4.
