Empirical models based on nonlinear regression are usually preferred over the use of some transformation of the data that linearizes the stimulus-response relationship. [ 11 ] One example of a logit model for the probability of a response to the real input (stimulus) x {\displaystyle x} , ( x ∈ R {\displaystyle x\in \mathbb {R} } ) is
Sensory modulation refers to a complex central nervous system process [1] [45] by which neural messages that convey information about the intensity, frequency, duration, complexity, and novelty of sensory stimuli are adjusted. [46] SMD consists of three subtypes: Sensory over-responsivity. Sensory under-responsivity; Sensory craving/seeking.
Neural adaptation or sensory adaptation is a gradual decrease over time in the responsiveness of the sensory system to a constant stimulus. It is usually experienced as a change in the stimulus. For example, if a hand is rested on a table, the table's surface is immediately felt against the skin.
Ainsworth completed her doctoral thesis in 1940 under William Blatz, who had developed security theory, a precursor to attachment theory. [4] Blatz believed the core nature of the relationship between a (to use his colloquial terms) mother and child involved the development of a trusted and secure relationship to function as a safe base for a ...
The sensory enhancement theory assumes that attentional resources will spread until they reach the boundaries of a cued object, [1] [2] including regions that may be obstructed or are overlapping other objects. [3] [4] It has been suggested that sensory enhancement is an essential mechanism that underlies object-based attention.
Modern studies show an increased effect of levels-of-processing in Alzheimer patients. Specifically, there is a significantly higher recall value for semantically encoded stimuli over physically encoded stimuli. In one such experiment, subjects maintained a higher recall value in words chosen by meaning over words selected by numerical order. [26]
The sensory nervous system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information. A sensory system consists of sensory neurons (including the sensory receptor cells), neural pathways , and parts of the brain involved in sensory perception and interoception .
Sensitization is a non-associative learning process in which repeated administration of a stimulus results in the progressive amplification of a response. [1] Sensitization often is characterized by an enhancement of response to a whole class of stimuli in addition to the one that is repeated.
