Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The absolute threshold is the minimum amount of stimulus energy that a person can detect. The fact that Mr. Antall could hardly detect the sounds presented during the hearing test suggests that they were below his absolute threshold, making option B the correct answer. Perceptual set refers to the way in which we interpret stimuli based on our expectations, background, and experiences. Prosopagnosia refers to a neurological disorder that impairs a person's ability to recognize faces. Difference threshold refers to the minimum amount of difference between two stimuli that a person can detect.
