absolute threshold is the lowest level that a person will feel sensation
differential threshold is the minimal difference that a person can detect between two similar stimuli
For example a change in volume in certain frequencies would be crossing the absolute threshold, how much that change would need to be for someone to detect it would be dealing with the difference threshold.
The absolute threshold of hearing is the lowest possible tone/decibel you could possibly hear. (This differs form person to person). The Differential Threshold is the point at which a person recognizes the decibel level has changed.Hope this answers your question, just learned this in psychology!
Difference Threshold
An absolute threshold is the smallest detectable level of a stimulus, whereas the just-noticeable difference is the smallest detectable change in two stimuli levels.

In exercise physiology, the difference between absolute and relative expressions of anaerobic power is that absolute mean power is calculated using the constant rate of falling bodies while relative mean power is calculated using a person's body weight to be able to compare power produced by that individual to their own body weight.
The absolute threshold is the minimum intensity of stimulus required to be perceived. In other words, it is the intensity amount which is needed to detect the difference between nothing and something. It is the lowest level at which an individual can experience a sensation.On the other hand, the minimal difference that can be detected between two stimuli is called the difference threshold or the j.n.d. (just noticeable difference)The main difference between the two concepts is that the differential threshold is a relative concept. Whereas the absolute threshold deals with whether or not a stimulus can be perceived, the differential threshold refers to the intensity difference needed between two stimuli before people can perceive that the stimuli are different.The marketing implication of absolute threshold is that consumers will only perceive a marketing stimulus when it is higher than absolute threshold. In other words, if images or words in a commercial are too small, consumer's sensory receptors will not ve activated and the stimulus will not be perceived. The differential threshold also has very important marketing applications Difference Threshold: The difference threshold, also known as the just noticeable difference (jnd), is the minimum difference in stimulation that a person can detect 50 percent of the time. We experience the difference threshold as a just noticeable difference. For example, let's say I asked you to put your hand out and in it I placed a pile of sand. Then, I add tiny amounts of sand to your hand and ask you to tell me when you notice any change in the overall weight. As soon as you can detect any change in the weight, that difference between the weight of the sand before I added that last bit of sand and the amount of sand after I added it, is the difference threshold.The absolute threshold is the minimum intensity of stimulus required to be perceived.

absolute threshold
The absolute threshold for hearing is arbitrarily defined as zero; decibels.
Difference Threshold
The absolute threshold is the smallest amount of light that a person can detect. The human absolute threshold we can detect is a candle flame at 30 miles away.
An absolute threshold is the smallest detectable level of a stimulus, whereas the just-noticeable difference is the smallest detectable change in two stimuli levels.
Death.
The absolute difference is 1.
Nothink there is no difference
