PSC 101 Chapter Notes - Chapter Chapter 5, Lesson 2: Detection Theory, Absolute Threshold, Sensory Neuron
Document Summary
Reading activities: when i saw a car stop in front of me i received the sensory to stop my car. I first received the physical stimulus form the car stopping. I then sensed the sensation from the light waves of the car. Transduction the occurred while i saw the car stop. The signal that the car was stopping was sent to my retina and then to my brain. Then this signal was sent to the thalamus which is called perception: an absolute threshold is when the sensory will be sensed or felt.
