Number of times the neuron fires
No one will receive a stimulus check. You will only a notice an increase in pay. The average wage earner will see a $13 a week increase.
The process in which a stimulus produces a response that opposes the original stimulus is referred to as negative feedback. This mechanism helps maintain homeostasis in biological systems by counteracting changes and stabilizing internal conditions. For example, if body temperature rises, mechanisms are activated to cool it down, thereby opposing the initial increase.
Stimulus habituation is a psychological process where an organism becomes less responsive to a repeated stimulus over time. Initially, the stimulus may evoke a strong response, but with continued exposure, the response diminishes as the organism learns to ignore it. This phenomenon is crucial for adapting to the environment, allowing individuals to focus on new and more relevant stimuli. It is a fundamental aspect of learning and memory in both humans and animals.
Subthreshold stimulus
Will I receive a stimulus check?
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.
Yes. ....Up to a point. There is a threshold the stimulus must surpass before creating a CAP (compound action potential). Anything below this threshold is called subthreshold. Once the stimulus is strong enough cause a CAP it is a stimulus threshold. At this point the CAP will continue to increase as the intensity of the stimulus increases (now termed suprathreshold) until a maximal stimulus causes a maximum response. Any stimulus stronger than the maximal stimulus is called a supramaximal and does not result in any larger a CAP than the maximum response caused by the maximal stimulus. source: http://www.unmc.edu/physiology/Mann/mann12.html
No, graded potentials do not increase in amplitude as they move away from the stimulus. The amplitude of graded potentials will decrease with distance from the stimulus site due to the loss of charge.
No, it doesn't become "larger" - the peak potential is always the same - it is a digital signal. Stronger stimulus will cause the nerve cell to fire more often - therefore stimulus strength is translated as action potential frequency.
mechanical stimulus
No, graded potentials do not increase in amplitude as they move away from the stimulus point. They dissipate as they travel along the neuron membrane due to leak channels and distance from the original stimulus.
Carbon dioxide
This isn't really a whole question but I'm guessing you're referring to classical conditioning. A good example of this is Pavlov's expeirment with dogs. He looked at how much they salivated when presented with food (the conditioned stimulus) and then paired the food with a ringing bell (neutral stimulus) and eventually the dogs started salivating at the sound of the bell even if there was no food.

Relative refractory period
<P> <P>The stimulus frequency is how often the stimulus is admitted. For example, every 30 seconds, every minute and 1/2, etc. <P>Stimulus strength describes the level of force used to administer the stimulus such as mild, moderate or maximum.</P>
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.
