Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory adaptation is the process by which sensory receptors become less sensitive to repeated presentations of the same stimulus. This allows the brain to focus on detecting new or changing stimuli in the environment. Sensory fatigue refers to a temporary reduction in sensitivity due to prolonged exposure to a particular stimulus, while discrimination is the ability to distinguish between different stimuli. Sensation refers to the process by which sensory information is detected by sensory receptors and transmitted to the brain.
