What is a decreased sensitivity that occurs when a stimulus is continuously applied to sensory receptors called?
It all depends on the sensory receptors affected by continuous stimulus applied. It can cause complete damage to the receptors and or prevent them from receiving the correct signals.
Anything a organism responds to is a?
stimuli? yea that's what i thought but im not so sure...
Do warm receptors adapt quickly?
Yes. "We all have the ability to make quick temperature adaptations. For example, when you step in the shower it immediately feels either too hot or too cold. For a moment, it's very uncomfortable, but that quickly changes. The receptors in the skin adapt very quickly to that stimulus." -findarticles.com
What factors determine the amplitude of axon potential in neurons?
The factors that determine the amplitude of axon potential in neurons include the strength of the stimulus, the size of the axon, and the presence of myelin sheath.
What can increase a strong stimulus?
Increasing the intensity or frequency of the stimulus can strengthen its effect. Additionally, increasing the novelty or relevance of the stimulus can also enhance its impact. Finally, pairing the stimulus with a reward or reinforcement can make it more powerful.
What do you call a decrease in sensitivity to a prolonged stimulus sensory?
A decrease in sensitivity to a prolonged stimulus is called "sensory adaptation." This phenomenon occurs when sensory receptors become less responsive to constant stimuli over time, allowing the nervous system to prioritize new and potentially important changes in the environment. Sensory adaptation helps prevent sensory overload and enables organisms to focus on more relevant stimuli.
What is a decreased sensitivity that occurs when a stimulus is continuously applied to sensory receptors called?
It all depends on the sensory receptors affected by continuous stimulus applied. It can cause complete damage to the receptors and or prevent them from receiving the correct signals.
The stimulus for the release of CCK is the presence of what in the duodenum?
Fat
What is the decreased sensitivity to a continued stimulus called?
depends on the subject of the matter; one may adapt to the stimulus, or develop a tolerance if being compaired to drug use
What occurs when a constant unchanging stimulus is no longer noticed?
sensory adaptation
What do you call the time between the presence of the stimulus and the onset of movement?
The time between the presence of the stimulus and the onset of movement is called the reaction time. It refers to the delay in response to a stimulus and can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the task, individual differences, and cognitive processing speed.
What is the definition of weber's law?
Weber's law states that the just noticeable difference between two stimuli is proportional to the magnitude of the stimuli. In other words, the change in stimulus needed to detect a difference is a constant ratio of the original stimulus level.
Does a large stimulus produce a higher amplitude in a action poteintial?
No, the amplitude of an action potential is constant and does not vary with the strength of the stimulus. Instead, the frequency of action potentials fired by a neuron can increase with a stronger 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.
two factors that can lead to stimulus adaptation?
Stimulus adaptation can be influenced by the intensity of the stimulus and the duration of exposure. A strong or intense stimulus may lead to quicker adaptation as the sensory receptors become less responsive over time. Additionally, prolonged exposure to a constant stimulus can cause sensory fatigue, where the nervous system becomes less reactive, resulting in diminished perception of that stimulus. Both factors contribute to the brain's ability to prioritize new or changing stimuli over constant ones.
What is the stimulus for a platelet plug or blood clot to form?
The stimulus for a platelet formation is bleeding where the body automatically detects if there is a presence of bleeding inside or outside the body.
What is the occurrence of a learned response to stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus is called stimulus?
Stimulus Generalization. For Example: A child that has been attacked by a dog becomes frightened by small animals.
