Subliminal perception takes place when stimuli is presented at .........
(I) Below the threshold.
(II) Above the threshold.
Answer: A
Subliminal perception occurs with stimuli presented (I) only, below the threshold.
'Subliminal' means below the limen, the threshold of conscious awareness. Subliminal perception is the registration and influence of stimuli that are too weak or too brief to be consciously reported, such as words flashed for a few milliseconds, which can still prime later responses.
Stimuli above the threshold are perceived consciously; that is ordinary (supraliminal) perception. So 'above the threshold' does not belong, and the options including (II) are wrong.
