Question

Perceptual adaptation refers to the a. grouping of stimuli into smooth, uninterrupted patterns. b. perception of movement created by the successive blinking of adjacent lights. c. perception of an object as unchanging in shape regardless of our own viewing angle. d. perceptual adjustment to an artificially displaced visual field. e. tendency for novel or unfamiliar stimuli to capture our attention.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is d.

Explanation:

This concept refers to adapting to an environment by blocking sensorial distractions. It can apply to all senses (i.e. you get used to a smell, sound or visual stimulus to the point at which you ignore it).

For example, while taking an exam in a classroom, the sound of a ticking clock on the wall might be very distracting at first. In time, your brain will automatically filter the sound so that you can concentrate.
