Question

The correct sequence of sensory processing is

A) sensory adaptation → stimulus reception → sensory transduction → sensory perception.
B) stimulus reception → sensory transduction → sensory perception → sensory adaptation.
C) sensory perception → stimulus reception → sensory transduction → sensory adaptation.
D) sensory perception → sensory transduction → stimulus reception → sensory adaptation.
E) stimulus reception → sensory perception → sensory adaptation → sensory transduction.

Answer 1

Answer;

B) stimulus reception → sensory transduction → sensory perception → sensory adaptation.

Step-by-step explanation;

• Reception is the process of activating a sensory receptor by a stimuli. Sensory transduction is the process of converting that sensory signal to an electrical signal in the sensory neuron.
• Transduction is the process that converts a sensory signal to an electrical signal to be processed in a specialized area in the brain.
• Perception is an individual’s interpretation of a sensation. Perception relies on the activation of sensory receptors and takes place at the brain level.
