Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory adaptation is the process by which the brain becomes less sensitive to a constant or unchanging stimulus over time, which is why sensations such as wearing a hat can quickly fade into the background. Sensory fatigue refers to a decrease in sensitivity due to prolonged exposure, but this term is not commonly used for hat-wearing. Subliminal perception refers to processing of stimuli that is below the threshold of conscious awareness, and perceptual defense refers to the unconscious avoidance of stimuli that might cause anxiety or discomfort.
