subtle changes in the sweetness of wine can be detected by both experts and novices.
Weber's law- minimum change in intensity necessary for subject to sense that the
stimulus has changed is a ration of the original stimulus intensity
perceptual constancy- tendency to experience a stable perception even as a sensory
input itself is changing
absolute threshold- smallest amount of physical stimulation required to detect a sensory
input half of the time it is present
Which factor is most likely a potential confounding variable in the study described in the
final paragraph? - Answer-To examine whether visual information was more relevant
than a flavor profile in eliciting an accurate description of the wine's flavor, researchers
had 54 novices—students training to become sommeliers—perform two different wine
