Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 The adequate stimulus is a property of a sensory receptor that determines the type of energy to which a sensory receptor responds to with the initiation of sensory transduction . A sensory receptor s adequate stimulus is determined by the signal transduction mechanisms and ion channels incorporated in the sensory receptor s plasma membrane. Classes Light When the adequate stimulus of a sensory receptor is light, the sensory receptors contain pigment molecules whose shape is transformed by light. Changes in these molecules activate ion channels which initiate sensory transduction . Sound When the adequate stimulus of a sensory receptor is sound, the sensory receptors are hair cell s mechanoreceptor s . These hair cells contain stereocilia , which when bent, trigger the opening of ion channels. Thus hair cells transform the pressure waves of the sound into receptor potentials to initiate sensory transduction . Although Muller proposed in his doctrine that any stimulus to a sensory receptor will invoke the same perception, we have now built on that theory by adding that an adequate stimulus is a type of stimulus for which a given sensory organ is particularly adapted towards.

Cleanup date July 2008 Stimulus control is the phenomenon of a stimulus increasing the probability of a behavior operant response because of a history of that behavior being differentially reinforced in the presence of the stimulus.

That is, the discriminative stimulus ... no choice it only refers to the probability of responding in the presence of the discriminative stimulus lit right key . The opposite of discrimination, in which a subject learns to respond to one stimulus and not to another stimulus e.g. the pigeon responds when the right key is lit and not when it is dark , is generalization. After behaving in a certain way in the presence of one stimulus, animals tend to behave similarly in the presence of a similar stimulus. That is, their behavior generalizes from one stimulus to another. For example, what would a pigeon do if, after being exposed to the procedure ... is highest to the original training stimulus in this experiment, the initial key lighting plan , and decreases .... In the quantitative analysis of behavior , stimulus control is examined from a number of perspectives ... comparison keys from the sample, shares some property e.g., shape .

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 In telephony , a stimulus protocol is a type of protocol that is used to carry event notifications between end points. Such a protocol is used to control the operation of devices at each end of the link. However a stimulus protocol is not sensitive to the system state. In a typical application such a protocol will carry keystroke information from a telephone set to a central call control . It may also carry control information for simple types of text displays. MiNET from Mitel is a typical protocol of this sort. Stimulus protocols are most suited to networks with dumb peripherals and intelligent centralized applications see intelligent network . This is in contrast to functional protocols which are best suited to a network with an intelligent periphery and a dumb core see dumb network . Because these architectures share core hardware over large numbers of peripherals, large and expensive computing capabilities in terms of both hardware and software may be supplied. These centralized architectures excel in solving the problems of complexity for large scale applications since the investment in hardware and software may be amortized across a great many users. However the same virtue of large scale sharing prevents these architectures from providing any significant degree of customization to the preferences of the individual user. The most that can be supplied is a degree of parameterization of service operation. With their suitability tied to the virtues of centralized network architectures, stimulus protocols are being deprecated in favor of functional protocols with the rise of the Internet. A functional protocol such as Session Initiation Protocol SIP from the IETF is more suited for Internet applications.

Wikify date April 2010 Orphan date December 2008 A random stimulus is any of a class of creativity techniques that explore randomization. Most of their names start with word random random word, random heuristic, random picture, random sound, etc. In each random creativity technique the user is presented with a random stimulus and explores associations that has a potential to bring novel ideas. The power of random stimulus is that it can lead you to explore some useful associations that could never be explored intentionally. Random Word technique is the simplest technique of this class where a randomly picked word is used to generate new associations. By getting a random word and thinking how you can use it to solve your problem you are practically guaranteed to attack the problem from a different direction from that you would normally. ref Ray, 1989 ref Low tech implementations of the random word technique often use a pile of index cards and shuffling as a mechanism of randomization. For example, The oblique strategies created by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt in 1975 is a set of 100 cards, each of which is a suggestion of a course of action or thinking to assist in creative situations, where standard logical solutions do not produce a desired result. High tech implementations of these techniques use computers, random number generators, and availabiliy of internet resources to extend the potential of this technique. Simple random techniques are classified by modality of association Verbal, Visual, Audial, Kinesthetic . Multi modal techniques combine different modalities, e.g. random article, website, or video. ref Kosorukoff, 2000 ref Random article link is an example of this kind ...

Chronic poverty is a term used to describe poverty with an extended duration. Both the implicit poverty line and the duration needed to allow such a classification are arbitrary and debated. And the purpose of the literature is to argue that the identification of this kind of poverty is important because it may require different policies than those needed for addressing transient poverty. ref Moore, Karen and Hulme, David 2005 Chronic poverty , Entry in Encyclopedia of International Development , ed.

These events include becoming married their children beginning to earn when the children leave home and marry finally when the individual is above the age where they can work.
