Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Perceptual narrowing refers to the phenomenon where, with experience, individuals become more attuned to certain stimuli that are relevant to their environment and culture, and less able to perceive differences in other stimuli. It is a normal developmental process in infants and young children, but can also occur in adults. Sensory decay, perceptual decline, and sensory contraction are not the appropriate terms to describe changes in the ability to perceive differences in stimuli due to experience.
