Detailed explanation-1: -The “absolute threshold of sensation” refers to the minimum intensity of a stimulus that a person can detect half the time. This threshold is not fixed, but varies from person to person and can be influenced by psychological factors, such as expectations, motivation, and alertness.
Detailed explanation-2: -the minimum amount of stimulation required to trigger a reaction or produce a sensation. Absolute threshold is measured across several trials. It is the lowest or weakest level of stimulation (e.g., the slightest, most indistinct sound) that can be detected on 50% of trials.
Detailed explanation-3: -Absolute threshold: the minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus 50% of the time. Signal detection theory: predicts how and when we detect the presence of a faint stimulus (signal) amid background stimulation (noise).
Detailed explanation-4: -Absolute Threshold: the minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus 50 percent of the time.
