perceptual process stage 1
exposure to stimulus - stimulus comes in range of perceptors
*absolute threshold
minimum amount of stimulus needed to be perceived i.e. a dog whistle is above the human threshold

where a mimimil amount of difference can be shown
*weber’s law
the stronger the initial stimulus, the greater the change must be for the change to be noticed
