Starts below the threshold and adjusts the intensity of stimulus until it is just detectable, or vice-versa. Method of constant stimuli: tester has the volume control. The study of the relationship between the acoustic world and our auditory image of this world. The awareness of an external stimulus or some change in the body caused by an external stimulus: give an example of sensation. The act of recognition and interpretation of a stimulus based on previous experiences: give an example of perception.
