Sensory Adaptation: Sensory adaptation refers to the process where our sensory receptors decrease their responsiveness to a constant or unchanging stimulus. This allows us to focus on relevant sensory information in our environment.
Dishabituation: Dishabituation occurs when a previously habituated stimulus suddenly changes or stops, causing us to regain sensitivity and respond again.
Sensory Overload: Sensory overload happens when we are exposed to an overwhelming amount of sensory input that exceeds our processing capacity. It can lead to feelings of stress and difficulty concentrating.
