There is a phenomenon found in many animals where a counterfeit or unnatural stimulus with exaggerated features will elicit a response that is more intense than the response elicited by the natural stimulus. This phenomenon is known as a supernormal stimulus. For example, cuckoo birds lay their e...
That is to say, an incorrect response (either implicit or explicit) to a particular stimulus may actively compete with the subsequent learning of the correct response. The incremental strengthen- ing of the correct connection may temporarily be offset by these intrusions and, therefore, not be ...
Stimulated mucus secretion can be classified into constitutive and impulsive secretion depending on the property of the stimulus that induces the mucus secretion. Constitutive mucus secretion Under physiological conditions, the pulling effect of mechanical stimulation induced by intestinal peristalsis and the ...
In a 2022blog post, Sahm wrote that the idea was to create a policy tool that would help the government determine when to send out stimulus checks, but she noted wryly that the rule took on a life of its own, drawing attention from noted economists like Larry Summers and the media. ...
Nerves work by transmitting electrical signals, or nerve impulses, along their length. Neurons, the building blocks of nerves, have a cell body, dendrites (receiving ends), and axons (transmitting ends). When a stimulus is detected by sensory neurons, it generates an electrical signal that trave...
to the point that it started to control almost everything else in their lives. Earle spent nearly every hour of the day in bed with the curtains drawn and an eye mask on. The smallest stimulus, like the sound of a door opening, became intolerable. “The first couple of months were terr...
