Ok I stand corrected on Stevens(false memory).However the ideas of absolute threshods and jnd still have implications for interpretations and translations as they pertain to transmissions to an audience,My point was that inlesting to some women translating in English actually increases the threshold(may have something to do with the tonal qualities of voice). There is some evidence that auditory instructional manuals are more effective when recorded by females than males-something about the female voice that commands attention.However,there is the exception that the male voice is best for training a door. Dogs are more likely to respond to a guy who says "Sit" than from a chick who utters the same command. Btw,absolute thresholds and jnd were the basis of my experimental psychology course when I attended Gannon University in Erie,Pa.The text was by Zimny and there a bunch of those psychophysical methods in the text.Some of those underlying methods were implicated in Murray Sidman's Tactics in Scientific Research- for example the term "maintaing constancy of conditions". It has to do with the experimental procedure but nevertheless it can be associated with the method of constant limits. JND was imported to signal detection theory. Anyway,Chris and Mile et al are only historians.They do not necessarily come up with divergence and creativity .At times it feels as if I am the only tipster who demonstates elaborative and deep processing of ideas and concepts.
