Definitions:

Perception

The process of organizing and interpreting sensory information to make it meaningful.

Absolute Threshold

The minimum stimulus intensity required to detect a stimulus or produce a sensory response in at least 50% of trials, indicating the limits of human sensory perception.

Difference Threshold

The smallest amount of change between two stimuli that a person can detect 50% of the time, also known as the just noticeable difference (JND).

Sensory Adaptation

The process by which sensory receptors become less sensitive to constant stimuli over time, leading to a decrease in sensation.
