Method of Limit and Method of Level for Thermal and Pain Detection Assessment : Table 2

Table 2: Absolute reliability of the MLI and MLE.
MLI = method of limits; MLE = method of levels; CDT = cold detection threshold; WDT = warm detection threshold; CPT = cold pain threshold; HPT = heat pain threshold; SEM = standard error of measurement; SRD = smallest real difference.
