Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A phenomenological report is a detailed description of an individual's subjective experience of a particular stimulus or event. Tony is being asked to describe the specific qualities and characteristics of the chocolate he is tasting, which would require him to provide a phenomenological report. Magnitude estimation involves assessing the intensity of a stimulus, adaptation curve measures how sensitivity to a stimulus changes over time, and absolute thresholds refer to the minimum intensity of a stimulus required for it to be detected. None of these concepts are relevant to Tony's task of describing the taste of the chocolate.
