Answer 1

Answer:

Sensory adaptation.

Explanation:

Sensory adaptation is the process in which changes in the senses take place as a result of the constant exposure to an stimulus. This means that as we are exposed constantly to an stimulus we stop perceiving it and we don't realize it's there anymore.

In the question, Shari enters a room with several chirping crickets. At first she can hear the chirping but as time goes by she is no longer aware that the noise is there. His sense of ear adjusted to the chirping and no longer perceives it, therefore this fact demonstrates sensory adaptation.
