Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three basic steps in all sensory systems are reception (stimulus energy is received by the sensory receptor cells), transduction (stimulus energy is converted into neural impulses), and coding (neural impulses are sent to the brain for interpretation). Transduction is the second step in this process, following reception. Parallel processing and feature detection are further steps in processing sensory information, but not part of the initial three-step process. Perceptual adaptation refers to the ability of the brain to adjust to changes in sensory input over time.
