<h2>Answer: Sensory adaptation</h2>

Explanation:

Sensory adaptation refers to the adjustment of the sensory capacity of a person following prolonged exposure to stimuli.

To better understand this, it is necessary to explain that environmental stimuli cause a change in the sensitivity of a person's sensory receptors. Then, depending on the type of environmental stimulus, the determined receptor will be stimulated (related to the five main senses of the human being: sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing).

However, when a person gets used to a stimulus, adaptation occurs. Therefore, <u>it will not respond to the stimulus in the same way as it did before. </u>

A very common example is the relation with the smells (olfactory sense), because people get used quickly to the smells that surround them and then they stop "perceiving" the smell.
