If you place an electrode onto a muscle and the muscle contracts, that is a response to stimuli.
An adaptation is the result of the evolution of a species to better suit its habitat. For example a snake is able to produce venom.
A stimulus is a change in an organism's surroundings or body which causes it to respond. Hence, a response is an organism's reaction to a specific stimulus.
Stimulus generalization occurs when a response is triggered by stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimulus, while response generalization involves the production of different responses to the same stimulus. For example, if a dog learns to sit when hearing a bell, it may also sit when hearing a similar sound (stimulus generalization). In contrast, if the dog learns to sit and then also learns to lie down in response to the same bell, that would be an example of response generalization. Essentially, stimulus generalization is about the stimuli that evoke a response, while response generalization is about the variety of responses elicited by the same stimulus.
a polysynaptic reflex
In an experiment the independent is the stimulus, the thing controlled or applied by the experimenter. The dependent variable is the response, the reaction to the independent variable.
The difference between an external stimulus and an internal stimulus is that an external stimulus is a stimulus that comes from outside an organism. But an internal stumulus is a stimulus that comes from inside an organism. An example for an external stimulus can be that when you are cold, you put on a jacket. An example for an internal stimulus is that when you feel hungry, you eat food.
A reflex is a response to a stimulus that the animal was born with, but a learned behavior is a response to a stimulus that the animal learns or is taught.
Response is short term, adaptation is long
Sensory adaptation refers to the decreased response of sensory receptors to a constant stimulus, leading to reduced perception of that stimulus over time. Negative adaptation, on the other hand, involves a decrease in the overall response of a system to a stimulus due to prolonged exposure. While sensory adaptation is specific to sensory receptors, negative adaptation is a more general phenomenon that can occur across various systems in response to prolonged stimulation.
A stimulus is a change in an organism's surroundings or body which causes it to respond. Hence, a response is an organism's reaction to a specific stimulus.
An uncontrolled response is a natural response to an unconditioned stimulus or stimuli. A controlled response is a response taught to said person by pairing it with a formally neutral stimulus which now turns into the controlled stimulus.
A stimulus is an external event or cue that triggers a reaction in an organism, while a response is the specific reaction or behavior that follows the presentation of a stimulus. In simpler terms, a stimulus is something that causes a response.
Migrating toward warming weather is a bird's response to cold weather, while a wolf growing a thicker coat is adaptation.
An unconditioned response is automatic and unlearned, triggered by a specific stimulus. A conditioned response, on the other hand, is learned through association with a neutral stimulus that was previously paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
Adaptation is the process by which organisms adjust to their environment over time to increase chances of survival, while habituation is a type of learning where an organism decreases or ceases its response to a repeated stimulus. In adaptation, the organism's physical or behavioral traits change to better fit its environment, while in habituation, the organism becomes less responsive to a stimulus that is no longer perceived as important or relevant.
A stimulus is any change in the environment that elicits a response from an organism. Tropism, on the other hand, is a directional growth response of a plant to a stimulus, such as light or gravity. In other words, tropism is a specific type of response exhibited by plants in reaction to environmental stimuli.
An action is something you proactively choose to do. A reaction is something you do as a response to a stimulus.
A simple association between a stimulus and a response is called classical conditioning. This process involves learning to associate a neutral stimulus with a biologically potent one, which results in the neutral stimulus producing the same response.
