Sensory adaptation (also called neural adaptation) is the process by which the nervous system 'adapts' to a continuous stimulus. Sensory (nervous) impulses are sent at gradually decreasing rates until we no longer feel the stimulus, although it is still there. This is why we sometimes forget that our glasses are on our foreheads or that we still have a pencil tucked behind our ear. The only sense that does NOT undergo sensory adaptation is obviously pain, because pain is so critical for survival that ignoring it can lead to serious injury or death.

What is a signal in which organisms respond?
Stimulus
What is the ability to respond to stimulus called?
Irritability
What Many living organisms respond to things in the environment called .?
Stimulus.
The process in which an animal stops responding to a repetitive stimulus is called?
The process in which an animal stops responding to a repeated stimulus is called habituation. Broadly defined, stimulus results in a reaction.
The process of changing physical stimulus to neural stimulus is called what?
Transduction is the process of changing physical stimulus to natural stimulus. This causes receptor cells to produce an electrical change in response.
What is the process of receiving stimulus energy called?
sensation
In classical conditioning what is the process called in which the animal develops an association the unconditioned stimulus and the neutral stimulus?
acquisition
What is the ability of a muscle to respond to nerve stimulus called?
neuromuscular efficiency neuromuscular efficiency
In classical conditioning what is the process called in which the animal develops an association between the unconditioned stimulus and the neutral stimulus?
The process is called "acquisition" in classical conditioning. During acquisition, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that elicits a response similar to the unconditioned stimulus.
Anything a organism responds to is a?
stimuli? yea that's what i thought but im not so sure...
The process of receiving and representing stimulus energies by the nervous system is called?
The process of receiving and representing stimulus energies by the nervous system is called sensory transduction. This is where sensory receptors convert physical or chemical stimulus energy into electrical signals that can be transmitted and processed by the brain.
Why is oxygen cycle called a cycle?
it is called a cycle because it is a continuous process.
