SENSATION, PERCEPTION, AND CONSCIOUSNESS 2

Sensation, Perception, and Consciousness

The absolute threshold represents the minimum level of stimulus that is detectable by

human senses such as touch, taste, smell, sight, or sound (Khabbaz, Goldenberg and Drake,

2016). I am one of those people who sweat literally after leaving the bathroom, and this explains

why I like using perfume to prevent the foul smell. My mother strongly detests the smell of

sweat, but she also complains that the strong smell of my perfume irritates her. To avoid

confrontations with her, I prefer doing my perfume from outside as I leave the house so that by

the time I return, the smell is not very smell.

Difference Threshold is also referred to as just noticeable difference, and it relates to the

least difference between two stimuli that can be detected from fifty percent of the trials (Matthen,

2015). For instance, the difference between two apples of different colors is detectable because

one can only choose between the two colors.

Sensory Adaptation involves the sense of taste. It refers to a reduction in sensitivity after

an individual has been continuously exposed to it (Ruff, 2013). For instance, my mother has been

cooking very spicy food since we were young. I was surprised last month when I won the pepper

eating competition held in our school by eating ten red peppers in two minutes.

Dark/Light Adaptation involves the sensitivity of m where and emotional factors that

influence chronic pain, and it operates the retina to the changes in lighting. The light adaptation

occurs when an individual moves from a dark room to a brightly lit place, and they see a white

light before adjusting to the light conditions (Matthen, 2015). One day I woke up to go to the

toilet at night and fell to the ground after reaching the sitting room. I later came to realize that the

fall happened since my retina had not adjusted to the change in lighting, and I could not see

clearly. The dark adaptation is the reverse of the light adaptation, and it occurs when an
