Catherine is at a crowded baseball game when she loses track of her son, Nick. Despite the loud cheering and noise of the crowd, she can pinpoint his location when he calls for her because she can distinguish the sound of his voice from all the other voices. This illustrates ________ theory. Question 2 options: A. absolute threshold B. just noticeable difference C. sensory adaptation D. signal detection

00:01 This question asks, a woman is at a restaurant and orders a spicy entree.

00:04 After the first bite, she experiences burning in her mouth and becomes concerned that her food is too hot for her.

00:09 The next few bites are similarly uncomfortable, but after a while, the spiciness seems to subside somewhat, and by the end of the meal she does not notice the spice level.

00:18 The end of the meal experience is best described as which the following.

00:21 Adaptation, signal detection, a difference threshold, or pain perception.

00:25 So we can rule out pain perception right away because we are not looking at pain per se.

00:30 We find this experience of burning and this sensation of burning in the mouth is not a pain sensation per se.

00:39 Instead, it is going to be a sense of taste.

00:42 So this spiciness is going to be a sense of taste, and that is how it's going to be processed, not in terms of pain.

00:48 So although, yes, it can induce different bodily responses, such as tearing up, reddening of the face, coughing perhaps, but this is not going to be.

01:00 Be a pain perception.

01:02 There's no pain stimulus if we're going to define it in that sense.

01:06 So pain perception is rolled out.

01:08 And signal detection could be ruled out as well because signal detection is you're pinpointing a particular signal of interest in a field of a lot of these different signals.

01:18 So we can rule that out because really the only signal that she's getting is the spiciness from the food.

01:24 And then we have to identify whether the answer is going to be choice a or choice c...
