Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Subliminal perception occurs when stimuli presented below the absolute threshold affect behavior. This means that the stimuli are not consciously perceived, but still have an impact on behavior. Repression (B) is a defense mechanism where individuals unconsciously push certain thoughts or memories out of their consciousness. A false alarm (C) occurs in signal detection theory when a stimulus is perceived as present when it is not actually there. The difference threshold refers to the smallest difference between two stimuli that can be detected. An ironic process of mental control (D) is a phenomenon where attempts to suppress certain thoughts or behaviors can actually lead to an increase in their occurrence.
