The main effects of semantic scrambling suggest that both valence and arousal are strengthened by general comprehension of meaning, but only within those items that already contain affectively charged words (i.e., when there is already a level of stimulus-driven affective activation).

Instead of using a fixed level of stimulus strength, one could interpolate the stimulus strength from the psychometric curve for a specific performance level (e.g., 80%% correct responses).
In the context of training adaptation, a certain level of stimulus to the muscular and neuronal systems is required for improving performance and the training stimuli are greater at higher speeds.
This discussion can be followed in its entirety here.IS THERE a level of direct fiscal stimulus that is big enough to create certainty about demand, but not so big that it spurs consumers to hold back on spending for fear of future tax rises?

In the present study, socially anxious participants showed a processing advantage for chemosensory anxiety signals already at a very early level of stimulus processing.
