What is the sensory stimulus?

What is stimulus?

  • I know its internal and external changes but I have a table that says: Complete the table of sense receptors Stimulus Receptor Example | | | | I know (or think) that the receptors are ears, eyes, skin, nose and tongue... does that make the stimulus the sense? If so then it would be like: Stimulus - hearing receptor - ears example - hearing music ??? only answer if you know feel free to research!!

  • Answer:

    If the receptor is the ear, then the stimulus is sound. The stimulus of light can be dectected by the receptors in your eyes. The stimulus of airborne molecules (smell) is your nose. etc.

For the ears, the stimulus is sound, for the eyes it's light (patterns of light and dark, colors), for the skin it's touch (direct contact), etc. If you're advanced, you might need to say things like proprioreceptor for touch, not just skin.

Just think of a stimulus as something that stimulates, i.e. a sound, light, a spicy food, etc. Its easier that way.

stimulus is the thing that stimulates a response. So sound is one example of an external stimulus. A receptor is anything that accepts the signal from the stimuli, so ears hearing music as you say would be one example. Though I would say that the stimulus is sound not hearing. Hearing is the process of responding to sound. So by extension the stimuli would be light, scent etc.

Sound or music would be an stimulus to the receptor ears. I'm just not sure what would be an example. Maybe music is the example. Temperature could be an stimulus to skin, and a hot plate could be an example. Color an stimulus to eyes, and traffic lights an example. That's the best I can come up with.
