Answer:

Sensory adaptation

Explanation:

In psychology, the term sensory adaptation refers to the process by which the body sensory receptors adapt to certain stimuli after being constantly exposed to them and therefore it makes them less noticeable for the person. In other words, the person is exposed to a particular stimulus and after some time of exposure, the person stops noticing said stimulus.

In this example, Thad turns on the air conditioner and starts watching television. One hour later Sean comes and wonders how Thad can hear the tv considering the loud noise the air conditioner makes, Thad doesn't even notice the sound. We can see that <u>Thad was exposed to the sound of the air conditioner for an hour and he stopped noticing it at all after this time. </u>Therefore, this example would be a good example of sensory adaptation.

How would you explain the outcome fo the Bay of Pigs invasion?
Pepsi [2]

You are totally wrong, because the outcome was opposite. On April 17, 1961, Cuban asylum seekers trained and equipped in the United States invaded Cuba in an attempt to oust Fidel Castro and his regime from power. However, the invasion failed and many of the arriving Cubans were killed.

Explanation:

  • US President John Kennedy acknowledged full responsibility for the failure of the mission, which he had approved in advance, which had begun to be prepared by President Eisenhower's previous administration.
  • President Kennedy later approved that Cuban asylum seekers should be exchanged for Cuba's agricultural machinery and medical equipment, and when they were released he met them at a major parade in Miami.
