augmenters
Things that increase
Augmenters are people or things that augment—that increase, enhance, or supplement something.
The term appears in technical contexts for devices or systems that boost capacity: fuel augmenters, thrust augmenters.
In psychology, augmenters are individuals who perceive sensory stimuli as more intense than average, contrasting with reducers.
