| Stimuli - Psychology Dictionary of Arguments | |||
| 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.
