Thresholds
• A minimum amount of stimulation needed to start a neural impulse.
• Divides the line between what energy can be detected or not.
• Absolute Threshold and Difference Threshold

Signal-Detection Theory
• Signal detection theory (SDT) is used when psychologists want to measure the way we make decisions under conditions of uncertainty, such as how we would perceive distances in foggy conditions.
