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 of the following is true about organizing items and information during scientific investigations?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

There are usually multiple methods for organizing items and information in a scienfic investigation.

Explanation:

Everyone has a different way of thinking, and therefore a different way of recording and organizing things for an investigation. This can come in the form of many ways:

- A different chart.

- A different order of experiments (though the same process and equipment for each)

- A pie chart instead of a bar graph.

However, two investigations that are completely different can have a similar way of recording and organizing data:

- Same chart type.

- Same graph type.

There are HUNDREDS of ways to map out an investigation- if there weren't more than one way, I can bet there would be thousands of scienfic discoveries that wouldn't have happened!
