For example, an illumination may be psychologically constant, even though there be mechanically measurable variation. But a mechanical variation which is too slight to be directly discriminated may nevertheless count as a psychological variation. If it should be found that such a change in degree of illumination was followed by a constant variation in the results of observations of minimal changes in grays, or that the rate of eye fatigue varied with the change in illumination, such change would be classed as truly psychological.
