Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The absolute threshold is the minimum amount of stimulation required for a person to detect the stimulus 50 percent of the time.
Detailed explanation-3: -The absolute threshold is the smallest amount of a stimulus that we can detect 50% of the time.
Detailed explanation-4: -Absolute Threshold-the weakest stimulus that a person can detect 50% of the time. Just-Noticeable Difference (JND)-the smallest amount that something has to change in order for the difference to be detected 50% of the time. Also known as a difference threshold.
