When you hear a sudden loud sound you jump name the stimulus and the response?
The stimulus is the sudden loud sound, while the response is the action of jumping. This reaction is known as the startle response, which is a primitive survival instinct triggered by unexpected loud noises.
What is the difference between stimulus frequency and stimulus strength?
Stimulus frequency refers to the rate at which stimuli are presented, while stimulus strength refers to the intensity or magnitude of a stimulus. In other words, stimulus frequency is how often a stimulus occurs, whereas stimulus strength is how strong or intense that stimulus is.
What is the difference between sound frequency and intensity?
The frequency tells you the tone pitch, which is a measure of the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. It is also referred to as temporal frequency. The period is the duration of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency. The colloquial word intensity (energy) tells you the loudness of a sound. In reality is meant the sound pressure level SPL of the sound which is no energy.
Does a large stimulus produce a higher amplitude in a action poteintial?
No, the amplitude of an action potential is constant and does not vary with the strength of the stimulus. Instead, the frequency of action potentials fired by a neuron can increase with a stronger stimulus.
Which part of the body is least able to distinguish a one-point stimulus from a two-point stimulus?
The back is least able to distinguish a one-point stimulus from a two-point stimulus due to its lower density of touch receptors compared to areas like the fingertips or lips.
