What is Sensory Adaptation?

After repeated exposure to a stimulus, there is a decline in sensitivity to it. This is called sensory adaptation. All five sense can experience sensory adaptation. This adaptation can take milliseconds to hours or days.

The significance of sensory adaptation-

• By enabling people to tune out distractions and concentrate on the most pertinent or significant stimuli around them, sensory adaptation performs a vital purpose.

• For example, you come home from a sunny afternoon and enter a dark room. For the first couple of minutes, it is pitch black; but afterwards, you are slowly able to make out shapes and objects in that room. That is, our eyes become accustomed or 'get adapted' to a dimly lit environment.
