The answer is the difference threshold<span>. This otherwise
known as the just noticeable difference (jnd); this
is the least difference in
stimulation that an individual can notice 50% of the time. We acknowledge the difference threshold as a just
noticeable difference.</span>
The just noticeable difference (JND) or difference threshold is the minimum level of stimulation that someone is able to perceive 50 percent of the time. This concept can be applied to all perception areas: smell, taste, sight, touch, and hearing.
It is important to differentiate it from the absolute threshold. The latest refers to the smallest detectable level of stimulation. For instance, <em>the lowest volume of a song</em> that a person can detect represents the absolute threshold. While <em>the lowest change in volume of a song</em> would represent the difference threshold.
This is a common pronoun hence one has to use a capital letter for a pronoun. Those are the name for things like the names of the cities or schools , general terms for common things.
