Summary: | A review and critique of research on form thresholds and their determinants. Among the determinants discussed are stimulus frequency, response suppression, response stereotypy, set, value, emotional tone, and differential electric shock. The problems of defining and measuring form thresholds are elaborated, with particular reference to studies of subliminal perception and differential threshold. The importance of the growing interest in separating response parameters from perceptual ones is pointed out. (154 ref.) |
