Detailed explanation-1: -The smallest or smallest difference between stimuli a person can detect is known as a difference threshold. The lowest intensity a person notices 50% of the time is recorded as the absolute threshold value. The difference threshold is calculated by taking the average of two measurements-an upper and a lower threshold.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eligible individuals will receive an Economic Impact Payment of $1, 200, or $2, 400 if married filing jointly, with an adjusted gross income (AGI) up to: $75, 000 for individuals if filing as single or married filing separately. $112, 500 if filing as head of household and. $150, 000 if filing married filing jointly.
Detailed explanation-3: -A difference threshold is the minimum required difference between two stimuli for a person to notice change 50% of the time (and you already know where that “50% of the time” came from). The difference threshold is also called just noticeable difference, which translates the concept more clearly.
Detailed explanation-4: -An absolute threshold is the smallest level of stimulus that can be detected, usually defined as at least half the time. The term is often used in neuroscience and experimental research and can be applied to any stimulus that can be detected by the human senses including sound, touch, taste, sight, and smell.
Detailed explanation-5: -The difference threshold allows experimental psychologists to understand the relationship between the physical intensity of a stimulus and people or animal’s perception of that stimulus. The smaller the difference threshold, the more sensitive someone is to changes in the quantity described by it.
