What is Absolute Threshold?

• The smallest possible strength of a stimulus that can be detected half the time

• The minimum difference that a person can detect between two stimuli 50% of the time.

• When exposed to a stimuli over a period of time there will be a diminished sensitivity to it. If a stimulus is constant and unchanging, eventually a person may fail to respond to it

• Processing information from the senses with higher level mental processes using our experiences and expectations. Using your background knowledge to fill in the gaps

• The process by which a form of physical energy is converted into a coded neural signal that can be processed by the nervous system.

Major senses

• Transduction; Absolute threshold; Difference threshold; Sensory adaptation

• Episodic, Semantic, Working Memory, Procedural “body”, Implicit.

• Focused, Sustained, Selective, Alternating, Divided.

A style in which conflict resolution, where one side focuses on the needs of the other, rather than the importance of the goal is:

• avoiding style

• competing style

• accommodating style

• compromising style

Collaborating style is…

• One where one has low concern for his or her ultimate goal and low concern for his or her relationship with the other. 

• One where there is high concern for relationships and high concern for achieving one’s own goal.

• Where one party focuses on the needs of the other, and not the importance of the goal.

• Defined by one party pushing ahead with his or her own mission and goals with no concern for the other party in the conflict.

Which type of conflict is wrong

• Intrepersonal

• Interpersonal

• Intragroup

• Intergroup

• Competing

• Collaborating

• Compromise

Choose style of conflict where one party focuses on the needs of the other, and not the importance of the goal.

• Competing

• Collaborating

• Compromising

• Accommodating

You should use compromising style if...

• When long-term solutions are needed

• The parties have equal power

• Finding the most creative solution is essential

• When the problem is complex
