Method of Limit and Method of Level for Thermal and Pain Detection Assessment : Table 1

Table 1: Detection thresholds for men (n = 14) and women (n = 14) on the first test.
MLI = method of limits; MLE = method of levels; a = compared the mean of men and women; CDT= cold detection threshold; WDT = warm detection threshold; CPT = cold pain threshold; HPT = heat pain threshold.
