Answer:The scientific explanation for this is that Jay and Gerard have different ABSOLUTE thresholds.

Explanation:

An absolute threshold refers to the minimun level of stimulus that a person is able to detect at least half the time.

This refers to how one will use their senses to detect that stimulus such as touch , taste, sight , smell and sound.

When you are given different levels of sound volume the smallest volume that you are able to hear is your absolute threshold. This happens 50 percent of the time meaning half the time because not all the time you are able to detect such level of sound or when you are able to feel the slightest touch.

Gerald and Jay then have different ABSOLUTE thresholds Jay seems to have a very strong or sharp or high absolute threshold of touch because he is able to detect the slightest touch whilst Gerald can't detect the slightest touch.

Which measure of memory retention assesses the ability to draw information out of storage and into conscious awareness?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Recall

Explanation:

Memory has 3 main processes:

  1. Encoding
  2. Storage
  3. Recall

Encoding refers to transform the information our senses are receiving to decoded information that will be stored in the brain.

Storage refers to the process that follows encoding and it refers to the actual  process of placing the information into memory (either short-term or long-term).

Recall refers to the process of retrieving the information that was encoded and stored earlier. Recall takes information from the past and brings it back to our present attention.

Therefore <u>the ability to draw information out of storage and into conscious awareness is done by the recalling process of memory retention. </u>

Which delegate provided the basic framework and central ideas for the U.S Constitution? How many key principles are outlined in
Mashutka [201]
To your first question--James Madison is widely known as the architect of the US Constitution (Although in reality it was the result of team work by 56 delegates).
To your second question--The six key principles outlined in the US Constitution are:

1. Popular Sovereignty (i.e. democracy or rule by the people)
2. Limited Government (i.e. again, democracy or the government can only do what the people instructs it to do)
3. Separation of Powers (there are three branches of power: legislative, executive, and judicial AND they are separate from each other)
Which brings me to...
4. Checks and Balances (each branch "checks and balances" the other two branches' power. For  ex: the US President can veto congressional bills, Congress can ratifies judicial nominees, and the Supreme Court decides on the constitutionality of congressional bills).
5. Judicial Reviews (the judicial branch reviews governmental actions)
6. Federalism (there is a federal and a state government. These are separate from each other)

statuscvo [17]
The correct answer is <span>depletion of glycogen.

A </span><span>depletion of glycogen or blood glucose levels most likely caused Anthony to not be able to finish the race. His blood glucose level likely fell due to a depletion in his liver glycogen. A depletion in liver glycogen causes a decline in energy needed for a physically taxing task such as running. In this case, Anthony was only able to walk and not run at mile12 of the race since his glycogen levels fell.  </span>
