Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ability to detect a single drop of perfume in an area the size of a one-bedroom apartment is an example of the absolute threshold, which refers to the minimum level of stimulus intensity needed for a person to detect a stimulus. The other options do not accurately describe this scenario. The difference threshold is the minimum difference between two stimuli that a person can detect, while the sensory minimum and just noticeable difference are not relevant to this context.
