Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of transforming stimulus energies into neural impulses is known as transduction. Priming refers to the activation of certain associations in memory, while sensory adaptation refers to the process by which we become less responsive to a constant or unchanging stimulus. Signal detection refers to the ability to detect a target stimulus among distractions.
