What is a pain threshold?
A pain threshold is the minimum intensity or duration of a sensory stimulus applied to a living being at which it becomes considered painful.
The briefest of memories that occurs immediately following the reception of a stimulus?
According to Baddely & Hitch's multi-store model of memory, the store you are most likely referring to is the sensory store, also known as sensory memory. It features a relatively unlimited storage capacity, and a very brief duration of retention. Upon reception of a sensory stimulus, it will first be sent here before shortly either, if paid conscious attention to, being transferred to the short-term store, or lost.Different types of sensory information will be stored for varying durations. For example, visual stimuli (iconic memory) will be retained for approximately 0.2-0.4 seconds, and auditory stimuli (echoic memory) will be stored for around 2-4 seconds.
What do you call the tendency to respond to a stimulus that is similar but not identical to a conditioned stimulus?
Stimulus Generalization
What are the very first of the three steps basic to all sensory systems?
1. Recieve stimulus 2. Transform stimulus 3. Deliver stimulus
Which neurons decide about the action for a certain stimulus?
Sensory neuron
Which region of the brain creates sensory perceptions?
cerebral cortex
Simple automaticinborn response to a sensory stimulus?
reflex
What is a Specialized area of sensory neuron that detects a specific stimulus?
the answer to this question would be sensory receptor
What happens at the level of the neuron starting with stimulus and ending with a response?
The stimulus is detected by the sensory receptor. The sensory receptor stimulates a sensory neuron. The sensory neuron transmits to the interneuron in the spinal cord. The interneuron stimulates a motor neuron. The motor neuron communicates to the muscle. The muscle(effector) then produces the response allowing the body to respond to the stimulus.
What is an hallucinations?
False or distorted sensory experiences that appear to be real perceptions.

What is a simple automatic inborn response to a sensory stimulus is?
reflex
