Question

Match the sensory characteristic with how it is coded by the nervous system. - Sensory modality - Location of the stimulus - Intensity of the stimulus - Duration of stimulus A. Which sensory neurons are activated B. Receptive fields C. Frequency of action potentials D. Duration of action potential train (i.e., continued firing of action potentials in sensory neurons) E. Size of action potential F. Duration of a single action potential

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Which sensory neurons are activated

b) Receptive fields

c) Frequency of the action potentials and size of action potential

d) Duration of action potential train and Duration of a single action potential

Explanation:

• Sensory modality : The sensory modality is Which sensory neurons are activated

• Location of the stimulus : The location of the stimulus is in the Receptive fields
• Intensity of the stimulus : The Intensity of the stimulus represents the frequency of the action potentials and size of action potential

• Duration of stimulus : The duration of the stimulus is  Duration of action potential train and Duration of a single action potential
