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.

In a classic study on depth perception, Gibson and Walk placed infants of various ages on a fabric-covered runway that ran acros
seraphim [82]

The study found that infants crossed the cliff when their mothers encouraged them to do so.

In this 1960 study by psychologists Eleanor J. Gibson and Richard D. Walk, infants aged 6 to 14 months are placed at one end of the runway and their parent stands at the other end of the plexiglas surface. The idea is to evaluate the child's perception of height and depth: if they perceived the visual (simulated) cliff, and if they became scared of it, they would be reluctant to crawl over to their parent.

An overwhelming majority (27 out of 36 children tested) crossed the surface, motivated by their parent's stimulus.
