Assuming you are referring to the different types of "environmental stimuli," as in Biology, the answer would include many sources. All living things (organisms) respond to environmental stimuli; this is one of the seven key characteristics of living things (including evolution, order, regulation, growth and development, reproduction, and energy utilization). So, for example, our bodies can respond to physical damage by making us aware of it through our feeling of pain. The "fight or flight" response can be triggered by threatening environmental stimuli. Or, a Venus fly trap will snap shut when an insect lands in its trap.

Where does the processing making sense of most stimulus typically occur?
Perception occurs in the brain.
What can increase a strong stimulus?
threshold stimulus
An organism reacts to a stimulus with an?
An organism reacts to a stimulus with a response.
What is the definition of a submaximal stimulus?
Submaximal Stimulus results in complete contraction of some fibers. It causes contraction more than subminimal stimulus and less than maximal stimulus.
How does graded potential occur?
Graded potential occurs when triggered by a stimulus and gated ion channels open these gated channels can either be chemically gated or mechanically gated. In order to have graded potential threshold must be met in order to generate action potential. Good day!
What must be paired together for classical conditioning to occur?
For classical conditioning to occur a neutral stimulus must be paired with an unconditioned stimulus. The neutral stimulus is initially meaningless to the organism but becomes associated with the unconditioned stimulus after the two are repeatedly paired together. This process of association is known as classical conditioning. The following are the components needed for classical conditioning to occur: A neutral stimulus An unconditioned stimulus A response ReinforcementThe neutral stimulus is something that does not initially produce a response. It is usually a sound taste or smell. The unconditioned stimulus is something that naturally produces a response. It is usually a food or something that causes pain or discomfort. The response is the reaction to the unconditioned stimulus such as salivating or flinching. Reinforcement is the use of rewards or punishments to strengthen the association between the neutral stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus.
When is operant stimulus control achieved?
Operant stimulus control is achieved when a behavior consistently occurs in the presence of a specific stimulus due to its history of reinforcement or punishment. This means that the behavior is more likely to occur when that stimulus is present and less likely in its absence.
What is the occurrence of a learned response to stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus is called stimulus?
Generalization. It refers to the tendency for a learned response to a specific stimulus to occur in the presence of other stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus.
Difference between nastic movement tropic movement?
Nastic response occur in a part of a plant that grows towards a non-directional stimulus while Tropic response occur in a part of a plant that grows towards or away from a directional stimulus.
Is it true that High-stimulus elections occur only during periods of realignment?
true
Where does the processing making sense of most stimulus typically occur?
Perception occurs in the brain.
What is a somatic reflex and how does it occur through the CNS?
A somatic reflex is where the body responds to stimulus. The message from the stimulus is sent through the central nervous system via the spine, and from there it travels to the brain.
What is transient current?
Transients can be currents or voltages. They occur momentarily and fleetingly in response to a stimulus or change in the equilibrium of a circuit.
Feedback stimulates your body to respond in the same direction as a stimulus?
Positive feedback loops rarely occur. This is because positive feedback stimulates your body to respond in the same direction as the stimulus, most often increasing instability
Signal to which an organism responds?
stimulus
What are the similarities between classical conditioning and one trial learning?
CLASSICAL CONDITIONING ONE TRIAL LEARNING Requires a number of associations between the UCS and NS Quickly acquired Can extinguish relatively quickly Resistant to extinction The UCS is presented immediately after the CS The CR (feeling sick) can occur hours or days after the CS (food) but an association between the two is still made Stimulus generalization may occur Stimulus generalization rarely occurs you can use almost any stimulus in c.c in o.t.l food is nearly the only effective stimulus.
How do you spell stimulus?
'Stimulus' is the correct spelling.
