What is meant by Directional and Non-Directional Stimuli?
Directional stimuli are environmental stimuli, particularly light and sound, that the direction of which it comes and the direction of the response to the stimulus are of upmost importance. Non-directional stimuli are those where receptors do not detect the direction from which they come. Chemical stimuli are usually not directional.
Name 2 sensory organs that can detect stimuli from distant objects?
Eyes and ears, because the other three senses are not possible to detect a distance object.
Can You List 3 Stimuli And The Receptors Used To Detect Them?
Touch - Mechanical receptors Light- Photo receptors Heat- Thermo receptors

What is perceptual detection?
ability to detect how much stimuli is applied to the body
What are neurons called that detect stimuli in skin and eyes?

What is the ability to detect small changes of weak stimuli and large changes in stron stimuli?
This ability is known as Weber's Law, which states that the smallest change in a stimulus that can be detected is proportional to the magnitude of the original stimulus. The law suggests that the ability to detect changes in stimuli depends on the intensity or strength of the original stimulus.
What is meant by Directional and Non-Directional Stimuli?
Directional stimuli are environmental stimuli, particularly light and sound, that the direction of which it comes and the direction of the response to the stimulus are of upmost importance. Non-directional stimuli are those where receptors do not detect the direction from which they come. Chemical stimuli are usually not directional.
