Question

Marisol is planning a ski trip for the spring break. Define absolutely threshold and difference threshold and explain how each one might play a role in her perception of the winter weather she will experience

Answer 1

Absolute Thresholds makes reference to the "intensity of the temperature that would be required to detect the environment 50% of the time" Whereas, Difference Threshold is related to " the amount of change that there would need to be in the temperature" for her to notice the difference. Her sensation and perception would affect her understanding on her environment by allowing her to interpret the stimuli to detect temperature, distance, etc. <span />
