An infant's responses to stimuli are coarse and undifferentiated because myelination of the nerve fibers is incomplete, according to "Infant Motor Development, Volume 10" by Jan P. Piek (http://books.Google.com/books?id=Snf4kqqmgNgC&pg=PA9&lpg=PA9&dq=development+of+nerve+fibers+in+an+infant&source=bl&ots=cxVA0T7QSj&sig=xJgMg_2fs-aHqOpsNj2_uXdGveI&hl=en&ei=sw7NSqm3KYzMNZ39qTo&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7#v=onepage&q=development%20of%20nerve%20fibers%20in%20an%20infant&f=false).
Humans tend to focus their attention on stimuli. This is an unconscious effort that normally occurs. This stimuli is focused on sight, sound, taste, and touch.
The responses of plants to external stimuli is called Tropism.Here are some tropisms:* Chemotropism, movement or growth in response to chemicals * Geotropism (or gravitropism), movement or growth in response to gravity * Heliotropism, movement or growth in response to sunlight * Hydrotropism, movement or growth in response to water * Phototropism, movement or growth in response to lights or colors of light * Thermotropism, movement or growth in response to temperature.
Tropic responses are called tropism. It is the growth or turning movement of plants in response to an environmental stimulus. Nastic movements are non-directional responses to stimuli, independent of the stimulus's position.
Gravitropism (also known as geotropism) is a turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. It is a general feature of all higher and many lower plants as well as other organisms. Wikipedia
The ways in which living things respond to stimuli is called "response mechanisms" or "behavioral responses." This includes actions such as movement, growth, reproduction, or changes in metabolic processes that allow organisms to interact with their environment.

A standardized test that scores responses to 33 specific neurological stimuli to estimate an infant's neural development and, hence, gestational age.
The somatic nervous system is voluntary because one can consciously control the responses.
They are receptors.

Two central stimuli in psychology are sensory stimuli and social stimuli. Sensory stimuli refer to external inputs that engage our senses, such as light, sound, and touch, which influence our perception and reactions. Social stimuli involve interactions and cues from others, such as facial expressions, gestures, and social norms, which affect our behavior and emotional responses. Both types of stimuli play crucial roles in shaping our experiences and responses to the environment.
