Sensory (afferent) neurons
Stimuli can be detected by the five main senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. These senses allow organisms to perceive and respond to their environment. Additionally, some organisms have specialized sensory adaptations, such as electroreception in some fish or echolocation in bats.
Responding to stimuli means reacting to changes in the environment through a specific action or behavior. Organisms detect and interpret stimuli using their senses, which then triggers a response to help them adapt and survive in their surroundings. This process is essential for organisms to interact with their environment and maintain homeostasis.
Distinctive stimuli are specific cues or events that stand out from the background or are different from the usual environment, prompting a stronger response or reaction. These stimuli can capture attention more effectively and lead to unique behavioral responses.
Stentor, a single-celled organism, reacts to stimuli through a process called mechanoreception. When stimulated by touch, it can contract rapidly and change its shape. Stentor's response to stimuli helps it navigate its environment and capture food.
stimuli is any visible change in an environment
Sensory receptors enable you to respond to stimuli in the environment of an organism. Some sensory receptors respond to taste and smell while others respond to physical stimuli.
A stimulus. ("stimuli" is the plural)

Anything in the environment that affects the behavior of an organism is called a stimulus.
When a person is responding to non-existent stimuli (environment) and/or not responding to existent (present environment) stimuli. In other words, a person is interacting with 'something that is not there' or not interacting with their environment that is definitely present.
Sloths respond to stimuli such as touch, movement, and temperature changes. They are especially sensitive to social interactions and may become stressed by sudden loud noises or disturbances in their environment. Due to their slow metabolism, sloths have a limited response to external stimuli compared to other animals.
human perception of external stimuli. Perception is the process of sensing, selecting, and interpreting stimuli in one's environment.
