Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The softest sound a person can hear at a particular frequency is known as their absolute threshold. This is because it is the minimum amount of stimulation required to detect a stimulus at least 50% of the time. The other options, such as motivational limit and signal detection limit, are not relevant to the specific task of determining the absolute threshold for sound detection. The difference threshold refers to the minimum amount of change required for a person to detect a difference between two stimuli.
