of Stimulus
semantic
Stimuli is the plural of "stimulus," and would be defined as: something that affects another thing, or causes a reaction to that other "thing" An example of "stimuli" in a sentence would be: "The use of various stimuli in the experiment were observed to cause pain reactions in the test subjects."
Environmental stimuli are stimuli in the environment that affect humans and other animals or things. This includes things like weather conditions, other people, and buildings.
"some of these [experiments on semantic conditioning] , for example, study the generaliaztion from objective stimuli to the verbal equivalents ( or study the equivalence of one word to another as conditioned stimuli)." -hilgard theories of learning
The interpretation of stimuli depends on various factors, including individual perception, past experiences, emotions, and context. These factors collectively influence how an individual processes and assigns meaning to incoming stimuli.
is a condition of abnormal and excessive sensitivity to touch, pain, or other sensory stimuli. (hyper- means excessive, and -esthesia means sensation or feeling)
perceptual defence: A term used to refer to the fact that the perception of some stimuli requires a longer exposure than perception of other stimuli. In other words, the thresholds for recognition of certain stimuli are higher than the thresholds of recognition for other stimuli. perceptual defence: Refers to motivational factors that inhibit perception of potentially threatening stimuli. Research in the 1950s gathered evidence for the effects of motivation on perception of subliminal stimuli
Stimuli are composed of two types: The Internal Stimuli and External Stimuli. Under internal stimuli are homeostatic imbalances and blood pressure. On the other hand, external stimuli are vision, touch and pain, taste, smell, equilibrium and sound.
The three major types of stimuli for endocrine glands are: Humoral stimuli, which respond to changes in blood levels of ions or nutrients. Neural stimuli, which are initiated by the nervous system. Hormonal stimuli, which are triggered by other hormones from the hypothalamus or anterior pituitary gland.
Sensation refers to the process of detecting stimuli through our senses, such as seeing, hearing, and feeling. Perception, on the other hand, involves organizing and interpreting these sensations to make sense of the information received. In short, sensation is the initial detection of stimuli, while perception involves the cognitive processes that give meaning and understanding to those stimuli.
Flaccid in reference to the penis means in the 'relaxed' state, not erect due to sexual or other excitement or stimuli (hanging, not 'standing up')
Perception is the process by which individuals organize and interpret sensory information to give meaning to their environment. The stages in the perceptual process include exposure (encountering stimuli), attention (focusing on specific stimuli), interpretation (assigning meaning to stimuli), and response (reacting to the perceived stimuli). Through these stages, individuals consciously and subconsciously select, organize, and interpret sensory information to create their perception of the world.
