[@dougieboy28]

[@lionelyang7958]

hi khan academy , i am really puzzled about this and need urgent help . May i know the what minimal stimuli is and minimal threshold. are they the same ?

[@symphony22]

Soo helpful, thanks a lot

[@ArielStar]

Thank you!!! Super helpful. :)

[@nonnisite1954]

Thank you! Super helpful to supplement my notes!

[@misssweethearted]

HELPFUL!!!!

[@alexx4761]

Content is helpful and clear. However, contrary to many other of your videos, the rate of speech was MUCH faster and I couldn't have the time to absorb the content; I had to pause and restart a lot because I couldn't process. So please keep creating those wonderful videos where there is a slow and steady flow of speech, thank you!

[@symphony22]

You can always slow the video down from the settings

[@calebm6818]

Wouldn't the graph at 2:44 approach 50% as the intensity decreases to zero? When intensity falls below the absolute threshold, shouldn't the participant be performing as well as chance, or with a 50% accuracy?

[@AmyStylinson]

your voice is just......

[@Lavenderslush]

The voice is below the absolute threshold of sensation for sure lol

It's 2023: nobody wants to go on a date.

[@sutpela]

Got confused, still don’t know the difference

[@psjads989]

Am I dumb or is the absolute threshold marked at 60% on the y-axis when it’s supposed to be at 50%?

[@rosstakla9603]

I think it should be 50% on the Y-Axis

[@ArielStar]

You're not dumb. It does say 50% on the video, but the 5 does look kind of like a 6. But it's 50%.

[@Lavenderslush]

I re-watched this video way too many times thinking there was some concept I wasn't getting because I definitely thought that graph said 60%

[@derekmolina9254]

Thanks for rereading my psych book...SMH

[@reginaldlatten215]

Saw

[@jiageng1997]

I think the y-axis should be just the percentage of detections, not correct detections.

[@thisisarandomurl2000]

my textbook labels it as "chance of detecting stimulus"

[@josueluna9942]

You are talking to yourself. Fast and mumbling. Why make a video?
