Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence of sensory processing is: stimulus reception (receiving stimuli from the environment through specialized sensory receptors) → sensory transduction (converting the sensory stimuli into electrical signals that can be processed by the nervous system) → sensory perception (interpreting the sensory information by the brain) → sensory adaptation (decreasing the sensitivity to a repeated or constant stimulus). Choice B follows this sequence correctly.
