A4.08
Tactile adaptation and dulling
Cards in this group · 6
- A4.08.1A constant, unchanging tactile stimulus gets perceptually dulled
- A4.08.2A varying pattern stays effective longer than a constant intensity
- A4.08.3Adaptation is site-specific — moving the vibration source to a new patch of skin restores sensitivity
- A4.08.4Peripheral receptor adaptation and central habituation are two different mechanisms with different recovery speeds
- A4.08.5Adaptation to one tactile mode does not fully transfer to another
- A4.08.6Sensitivity needs time to recover after a stimulus stops, so an immediate repeat cue lands with reduced effect
