Question

Jennifer can tune her guitar more effectively than Maria because Jennifer is better at detecting whether specific strings are playing too sharp or too flat. With respect to tone sensitivity, Maria apparently has a ________ threshold than does Jennifer. A. smaller difference B. lower absolute C. larger difference D. higher absolute

Answer 1

Answer: C) Larger difference

Explanation:

Difference threshold is noticeable difference usually 50% of time.It is describes as the lowest amount of alteration and change required in any object or thing to come in the notice of person .

Large difference threshold is noticeable difference requires more time to get noticed by an individual in a changed body .Thus, Maria's difference threshold is larger as compared to Jennifer as she is able to notice tone's sharpness relatively at slower rate.

Other options are incorrect because smaller difference is shown by Jennifer by detecting tone more rapidly than Maria. Absolute threshold is for the detection of stimulus that can come in notice by minimum simulation.Thus, the correct option is option(C).
