D)false alarms

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Difference thresholds, also known as just noticeable differences (JND), measure the smallest detectable difference between two stimuli, in this case, the differences in the wavelength of light. This would be the most relevant measure for Dr. Chudnofsky's research question.
