What is the absolute threshold?
An absolute threshold was seen as a hypothetical barrier that incoming stimuli must overcome before they can be perceived, it was based on the ability to pass through the threshold based on absolute judgements about a single stimulus. In the case where a person were to, for example- detect a light, the strength of said light would have to be strong enough to pass the threshold for an observer to perceive it, it was generally based on the observer's ability to detect a signal.In reality however, there is no such threshold that splits the stimulus dimension into detectable and undetectable components. Rather, a stimulus must yield a sensation that exceeds the decision criterion (beta) for even the weakest signal to be perceived, so a decision threshold is the stimulus that elicits the response or perception. The detectability and reporting of the presence of a signal- or the light- are both factors because the decision threshold must be passed and the results from the strength of the stimulus, for example the light- as well the evidence of yielding such strength, must be plausible. Only in this case, do we have correct detection of a signal.
Are subliminal messages bad?
Yes it is, they still affect you even if you don't notice it... and that's just the point, for those messages to affect you without you knowing it. Dictionary Definition of Subliminal Messages: Below the threshold of conscious perception. Used of stimuli. so it is below what you can capture, and it is used to stimulate you... it is bad unless you like to be stimulated without concent
What characterizes a person who is 'out of touch with reality'?
When a person is responding to non-existent stimuli (environment) and/or not responding to existent (present environment) stimuli. In other words, a person is interacting with 'something that is not there' or not interacting with their environment that is definitely present.
The psychologist who believed that people are completely physical beings with their development determined by external stimuli was?
sigmund freud
What are 6 things that all sensory systems have in common?
All sensory systems share several key characteristics: they detect stimuli from the environment, convert these stimuli into neural signals through sensory receptors, and transmit the information to the brain for processing. Additionally, each sensory system has specific pathways for processing different types of information, such as visual, auditory, or tactile stimuli. Finally, they all contribute to perception, allowing organisms to interpret and respond to their surroundings.
Neuron receives a series of stimuli whose effect is excitatory but subthreshold?
Then it does nothing unless the stimuli arrive at the same time to be above the threshold. Or the stimuli may undergo temporal summation (with buildup of neurotransmitters in the synapse), where their effects add up over time to be above the threshold.
A rapid repetitive series of threshold stimuli leading to a single fused sustained contraction is A summation of stimuli B treppe C tetanus D sumation of contraction?
a. summation of stimuli
Perception below the threshold of conscious perception is called?
Subliminal perception refers to the detection of stimuli below the threshold of conscious awareness. These stimuli may influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviors without individuals being consciously aware of them.
The minimal difference between two stimuli that people can reliably detect?
The difference threshold, also known as the just noticeable difference, is the smallest change in a stimulus that can be detected by an observer. It is a measure of the sensitivity of a human's sensory system to changes in stimuli.
Difference threshold of a sensation defined?
The difference threshold is the smallest amount by which two sensory stimuli can differ and still be perceived as distinct. It is also known as the just noticeable difference (JND) and varies depending on the type of sensation and the intensity of the stimuli. The difference threshold is an important concept in psychophysics for understanding how humans perceive and interpret sensory information.
What is a rapid repetitive series of threshold stimuli leading to a single fused sustained contraction?
Sumation of contraction
What are the decision makers of the nervous system?
The neuron, by "deciding" wither or not to fire when a threshold of input stimuli come in to it.
The minimum amount of stimulation required to tell the difference between two stimuli is called the?
Just-noticeable difference (JND) refers to the smallest detectable difference between two stimuli. This threshold determines the minimum amount of stimulation needed to distinguish between the two stimuli.
What is the difference between an absolute threshold and a just noticeable difference?
An absolute threshold is the smallest amount of stimulation needed for a sensation to be detected, while a just noticeable difference is the smallest detectable difference between two stimuli. In other words, the absolute threshold is about detecting the presence of a stimulus, while the just noticeable difference is about discriminating between two stimuli.
What is subliminal threshold?
subliminal threshold means the stimuli that are too weak or too brief to be consciously seen or heard may nevertheless be strong enough to be perceived one or more receptor cells.
What is Perception that is below the threshold of conscious perception?
Subliminal perception refers to the processing of stimuli below the threshold of conscious awareness. These stimuli can influence behavior and cognition despite not being consciously perceived. Research suggests that subliminal messages can impact attitudes and preferences, although the extent of this influence is still debated.
What is the difference threshold?
The difference threshold, also known as the just noticeable difference (JND), is the minimum amount by which two stimuli must differ for a person to perceive them as distinct. It is a key concept in psychophysics that helps understand how sensitive our senses are to changes in stimuli. The difference threshold varies depending on the type of stimulus and individual differences in perception.
