Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This situation suggests that Raul has a higher just noticeable difference (JND) for detecting changes in salt content compared to his roommate. Raul felt that he had not added enough salt because he could not detect a noticeable difference even after adding a little bit of salt, while his roommate was able to detect the slight change in salt content and found the soup to be perfect. Therefore, Raul's roommate has a smaller JND and can detect smaller changes in the salt content of the soup compared to Raul.
