Question

If we sensed and attended equality to each stimulus in the world, the amount of information would be overwhelming. What sensory and perceptual process help us lessen and din?

Answer 1

Attention is the primary sensory and perceptual process involved in filtering out irrelevant stimuli from the environment. This process is highly selective as it can process only limited items in the environment, while ignoring the bulk of them. Neural adaptation is another process that decreases the amount of stimulation that requires processing. Here, process the sensitivity of the sensory receptors undergo change in relation to a constant stimulus. After constant exposure to a particular stimulus, their perceived stimulation decreases due to a corresponding decrease of the sense organs’ sensitivity.
