Hearing Threshold Partner Activity Aim: How does perception impact the way we experience the world? Absolute Threshold Hearing Threshold Partner Activity http://www.garyfisk.com/anim/threshold.swf the minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus 50 percent of the time A single candle flame 30 miles away A drop of perfume in a six-room apartment a ticking of a watch from 20 feet away The pressure of a wing of a bee falling on our cheek

Difference Threshold (Just Notable Difference) Aim: How does perception impact the way we experience the world? Difference Threshold (Just Notable Difference) the minimum difference a person can detect between any two stimuli half the time Weber’s Law: difference thresholds differ by a constant percentage rather than amount **exact proportion varies by stimulus: weight must differ by 2%; light intensity by 8%

Signal Detection Theory Aim: How does perception impact the way we experience the world?
