What is:
Vestibular sense?

and giving them meaning. So even though you and your friend are “seeing” the same stimulus, your
interpretations are different.)

Back to board
C2 - 100
100What is:
Absolute thresholds?(Dogs have sound receptors that can pick up higher frequency
sounds than do humans. This means that dogs have a lower absolute threshold for sound than do humans. That is, dogs’ sound receptors are more sensitive. Give yourself credit for
any related explanation. )

decision about whether or not they think they detected a stimulus.)
