Question

process by which we attend to meaningful stimuli and filter out irrelevant or extraneous stimuli
place theory
selective attention
absolute threshold
difference threshold
feature detectors

Explanation:

• Place theory is related to how we perceive pitch based on the location of hair cells in the cochlea.
• Absolute threshold is the minimum intensity of a stimulus that can be detected.
• Difference threshold is the minimum difference between two stimuli that can be detected.
• Feature detectors are neurons in the visual system that respond to specific features of a stimulus.
• Selective attention is the process of focusing on relevant stimuli and ignoring irrelevant ones.

Answer:

selective attention
