Differential threshold, also known as just noticeable difference (JND), refers to the smallest detectable difference between two stimuli. It indicates how sensitive a person's sensory system is to changes in stimuli. The other options, such as absolute threshold (smallest detectable amount of stimuli) and intensity threshold (minimum amount of stimuli needed for detection), are not directly related to detecting differences between stimuli. Relative threshold is not a commonly used term but it may refer to the threshold at which a stimulus can be detected in relation to other stimuli. Nonetheless, it is not a well-established concept in sensory psychology.
