A)  adjusting just noticeable differences 
B)  sensory adaptation 
C)  perceptual assimilation 
D)  perceptual invariance

Sensory Adaptation

The process by which sensory receptors become less sensitive to constant or unchanging stimuli, allowing organisms to focus on relevant changes in their environment.

Perceptual Invariance

The ability of the perceptual system to recognize objects across varying conditions despite changes in angle, distance, or lighting.

Adjusting Differences

The process of accounting for variables that may impact the outcome of a study or analysis, in order to isolate the effect of the independent variable.

  • Discern and interpret the process of sensory adaptation.
