Stressor
exagerrates the stimulus
The maximal stimulus is the strongest stimulus that produces increased muscle contractile force.
Neutral stimulus is a stimulus which initially produces no specific response other than focusing attention. In classical conditioning
The place or point of beginning; the outset.The lowest point at which a stimulus begins to produce a sensation.The minimal stimulus that produces excitation of any structure, eliciting a motor response.
A stimulus is a change in the environment that triggers a response in an organism. When an organism receives a stimulus, it processes the information and produces a reaction, which is a specific behavioral or physiological change to cope with the stimulus. This process allows organisms to adapt and survive in their environment.
positive feedback
Tensional stress typically produces normal faults, compressional stress typically produces reverse faults, and shear stress typically produces strike-slip faults.
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.
Exaggerating the stimulus is also seen as amplifying the stimulus. This is seen in outer ear hair cells.The mechanism you refer to is probably a positive feedback mechanism: more of the stimulus causes more of the stimulus. This is in contrast to a negative feedback mechanism, whereby more stimulus results in processes that strive to attenuate (lessen) that stimulus.
This is known as classical conditioning, a type of learning where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a response. The neutral stimulus eventually becomes a conditioned stimulus that triggers the same response.
A neutral stimulus is a stimulus that initially produces no specific response other than focusing attention. Examples of a neutral stimulus is a song, an animal, or a flower. If a person that you love gives you a specific flower, creating a pleasant memory, every time you see or smell this specific flower, it brings pleasant memories of that person.
