Larger change sizes steepen and left-shift hit-rate curves, shortening detection time constants.

Evidence

The above results are consistent with predictions from statistical integration of information. First, unsurprisingly, change detection should improve with greater change sizes. Second, change detection should improve, but saturate, as the estimation of the statistics of the first stimulus converges, i.e. if longer observation time is available. Third, change detection of bigger changes should require less precision in the estimation, translating to higher hit rate already for shorter observation times. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3285 (#expands, via linked claim)
