Descriptive analysis provides valuable information about the sensory properties of consumer products, but this information lacks the temporal dimensionality of real-world sensory experiences. Type II error occurs when the descriptive sensory panel fails to differentiate between products known to be discriminable.

Occasionally, products that are not significantly different in sensory profile are found to differ significantly in discrimination tests. Although the magnitude of an attribute may not be significantly different, the time or order of perception of that attribute
