Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of 'submodalities' in the context of sensory perception. Submodalities refer to the different qualities or aspects of a single sensory modality. For example, within the modality of taste, submodalities include sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.

Recognize that the problem is asking about the ability to differentiate these submodalities, which is a specific type of sensory processing.

Review the definitions of the given options: 'pattern recognition', 'quality discrimination', 'spatial discrimination', and 'magnitude estimation'.

Identify that 'quality discrimination' refers to the ability to distinguish between different qualities or submodalities of a sensation, such as differentiating between sweet and sour tastes.

Conclude that the ability to differentiate the submodalities of a sensation is best described by the term 'quality discrimination'.
