| Stimuli:A stimulus is a change in the state of a variable which, by acting on a subject or ultimately a sense cell, can have or may not have effect or a willingness to do so. Stimuli can occur both outside and inside a living system. While in an event that is without effect, one does not speak of a cause, one speaks very well of stimuli, which remain subliminally and thus trigger no reaction. The reason for this is that several levels are involved in the processing of stimuli and inhibitions may occur during processing. See also Perception, Sensory impressions, Sense data, Qualia, Stimulus meaning, Information processing._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

W.V.O. Quine on Stimuli - Dictionary of Arguments
I 66/67 Stimulus: here it is about stimuli, not rabbits! - (See also problems in relation to >forgery). - Verification by society. >Gavagai. I 67 Stimulus meaning: preliminary isolation of individual sentences for verification. VsCarnap: Advantage: distinction between the cases of unicorn and goblin is possible without preliminary decision on admissibility. >Stimulus meaning. I 81 Stimulus meaning: objective reality that the linguist needs. - Translation, not identity but approaching stimulus meaning. >Translation. I 120f Consistent sentences: stimulus meaning is more sparse - accordingly: stimulus synonymy less plumable. >VsAnalyticity. I 126 Stimulus synonymy improved by socialization (agreement) - same goes for stimulus analyticity: But now: 2 + 2 = 4 on the same level as "There are black dogs" (>acceptability). I 379 Stimuli are not intensional. I 402 Existence: does not arise from the dichotomy individual thing-universal - it does not matter whether it exists. Equator, North Pole. Linking with stimuli is a weak argument for primacy of physical objects, but makes terms accessible for all positions. --- II 57 QuineVsSensory qualities - people speak and do not think about their stimuli. - It is about stimulus and response. --- V 48f Stimulus/Response/Quine: this (polar) contradiction is mitigated by the notion of perception similarity. V 49 Truth similarity: includes auditory similarity of words. Truth similarity: analysis ignores the different origins - stimulus reaction analysis does not._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
