Question

The reduced sensitivity of sense organs to prolonged stimulation is called sensory:

• A. Ratio
• B. Overload
• C. Deprivation
• D. Adaptation

Hint:

Sensory adaptation allows the brain to focus on changes in the environment rather than constant stimuli.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Sensory adaptation occurs when sensory receptors become less responsive to constant stimuli.

• Example: When you first enter a brightly lit room, it may seem very bright, but your eyes quickly adjust.
• Function: Allows the sensory system to focus on changes in the environment rather than constant, unchanging stimuli.
