Which of the following is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The absolute threshold for any stimulus varies somewhat depending on factors such as background noise, individual differences, and the criteria for detection (e.g. detecting a faint light in a dark room versus in a well-lit room). While there is no exact percentage for detecting a stimulus, it is typically defined as the minimum amount of stimulation necessary for a stimulus to be detected at least 50% of the time. Therefore, options C and D are incorrect. Option A is also incorrect as it implies that the absolute threshold is always the same regardless of context or individual differences.
