Effect of Tactile Sensitivity on Two Point Threshold The skin covers and surrounds the entire human body, making it the largest sensory organ we have. On the skin there are millions of receptors that pick up many different sensations such as touch, pressure, pain and temperature. These receptors are sometimes focused to pick up only one sensation while others can pick up a multitude of sensations at once. These stimuli then get sent to our somatosensory cortex where our brain can process how the

Intelligence and creativity: the "threshold hypothesis" It has been assumed that intelligence, of an above-average level, represents an important condition for creativity. Guilford (1967) was one of the first to find a proper relationship linking intelligence to creativity. He found a positive

The officer had over heard that LaDue was making bombs in the storage locker, then had found a SKS assault rifle with sixty rounds of ammunition, a Beretta

The purpose of the following lab focuses on testing the participant’s two-point-threshold for four different body parts. The body parts which were tested during the lab included the fingers, palms, forearms, and the back. These tests were administered in order to represent somatosensation, which are receptors in the body which respond to stimulation by mechanically opening. This categorizes somatosensation receptors as mechanoreceptors. They are referred to as cutaneous receptors which are categorized

is explored by Malcolm Gladwell in “Thresholds of Violence,” where he explains the shootings before Columbine as well as after. He intertwines his analysis with Mark Granovetter’s essay of how this can relate to a riot consisting of school shootings.

use of thresholds. Thresholds are everywhere is this movie, they’re used at transportation, transformation, and much more.

In the article, “Thresholds of Violence” by Malcolm Gladwell, the author uses Mark Granovetter's argument of riots as example to explain his own argument. Along with Granovetter's argument, he uses the cases of previous school shootings as example to clarify his argument and how school shooters don't have a specific kind of pattern. As example of Granovetter’s theory, he uses LaDue’s case, which goes well with this theory. With this, Gladwell effectively uses Granovetter’s theory to prove his claim

Poverty and poor heath are linked due to many factors including: money, having to make difficult decisions just to make ends meet i.e.: food over a doctor’s visit, car repair over food, and poor access to healthcare. My experience on Spent, (SPENT, n.d.), served to remind me, how fragile our lives really are. I did this exercise three times, each with a different job, each time making different decisions
