Minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus is

• Difference threshold

• Absolute threshold

• Signal detection theory

• Sensory Adaptation

Minimum difference between two stimuli that a subject can detect is

• Difference threshold

• Absolute threshold

• Signal detection theory

• Sensory Adaptation

Diminished sensitivity with constant stimulation is

• Difference threshold
