What is the importance of adaptation in some sensory stimulation?
A long term stimulation of constant intensity, the receptor will after a while adapt and not make any notice of the stimuli.
A sensation that seems to fade away when receptors are continuously stimulated?
Sensory Adaptation, which is an adjustment made by the sensory receptors upon continuous stimulation.
How does transduction allow your body to experience its senses?
stimulation of the neurons in the ganglion.
Sensory receptors for all the following adapt to repeated stimulation by sending fewer and fewer and fewer impulses except those for?
pain
What is the name of the reflex associated with the sensory stimulation of the pulmonary stretch receptors that stimulates a deeper breath upon inspiration?
The reflex associated with the sensory stimulation of the pulmonary stretch receptors is known as the Hering-Breuer reflex. It is responsible for inhibiting inspiration to prevent overinflation of the lungs, promoting expiration and maintaining normal breathing patterns.
What are the early sensory stimulation?
tae

When continued sensory stimulation causes sensory receptors to desensitize and stops responding?
Bch
What is an aesthesis?
An aesthesis is an individual's awareness of sensory stimulation.
What is A phenomenon found in sensory perception in which the receptors gradually stop responding to continuous stimulation?

Is rocking back and forth a sign of Autism?
No, not necessarily. Rocking back and forth alone is not an indication of autism, neurotypical people can rock back and forth too! It can be a characteristic of autism known as 'stimming' which is repetitive self-stimulation, it's a means of controlling sensory input to reduce sensitivity to surrounding sensory input.
What is the adjustment of sensory receptors to continuous stimulation by decreasing their signals to the brain called?
Adaption
What is the importance of adaptation in some sensory stimulation?
A long term stimulation of constant intensity, the receptor will after a while adapt and not make any notice of the stimuli.
