What is the absolute threshold for the sense you chose?

First, choose your favorite sense (vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell). Write a one page double-spaced, 12 point font paper answering the following questions:

  1. What are the parts of this sensory system (example: smell has olfactory bulbs; vision includes the retina and rods and cones)?
  2. What is the absolute threshold for the sense you chose?
  3. Why did you choose this sense?
  4. Bonus – discuss transduction. (May earn up to 3 points; however, the point total may not exceed 60/60)

Second, download and complete the attached worksheet.
