Perception.
The initial experience of a stimulus involves the detection of the stimulus by sensory receptors in the body, such as in the eyes, ears, or skin. This triggers a neural response that sends signals to the brain for processing and interpretation, leading to the awareness and perception of the stimulus.
The initial learning of the stimulus-response link is known as acquisition. During this stage, an individual learns to associate a specific stimulus with a particular response through repeated exposure and practice. This process may involve reinforcement and feedback to strengthen the connection between the stimulus and the desired response.
Yes, that's correct. Weber's law states that the just noticeable difference (JND) between two stimuli is proportional to the intensity of the initial stimulus. This means that the difference needed to perceive a change in stimulus intensity remains constant regardless of the initial intensity level.
This phenomenon is known as the contrast effect, where experiencing a strong emotion can lead to a contrasting emotion when the stimulus causing the initial emotion is removed. This emotional shift is a natural response as the body and mind seek balance and equilibrium. It can help individuals adapt to changing circumstances and regulate their emotional states.
The characteristics are modality (type of stimulus), intensity (strength of stimulus), duration (length of stimulus), and location (where the stimulus occurred).
An innate stimulus is a type of stimulus that triggers a natural, automatic response in an organism without the need for prior learning or experience. These responses are typically genetically programmed and can vary among different species.

Exaggerating the stimulus is also seen as amplifying the stimulus. This is seen in outer ear hair cells.The mechanism you refer to is probably a positive feedback mechanism: more of the stimulus causes more of the stimulus. This is in contrast to a negative feedback mechanism, whereby more stimulus results in processes that strive to attenuate (lessen) that stimulus.

The sinoatrial node (SAN) is located within the walls of the right atrium. It is from here the initial stimulus for contraction of the atria originates.
1) Free will. 2) Time (the situation has changed). 3) Experience (you get used to it).
