Series of responses obtained under alternate stimulations at 45 deg.
The response still persisted to be negative, as seen in the series of records obtained under successive stimulations of light of short duration; these negative responses exhibited recovery on the cessation of light (Fig.
It follows from this fact of the reverberation of the nervous structures after the removal of a stimulus, that whenever two discontinuous stimulations follow one another rapidly enough, they will appear continuous.
Of these stimulations some appear to be direct, and due to unknown influences exerted by the state of nutrition of the cerebral elements, or the action of the contents of the blood-vessels on these elements.
With these sensations, the result of stimulations coming from remote parts of the organism, may be classed the ocular impressions which we receive in indirect vision.
As a consequence no rule can be laid down for discriminating by direct inspection between unwholesome stimulations and invaluable excursions into appreciative enhancements of life.
In many cases they have operated merely as reactions like those artificial and isolated stimulations already mentioned.
To a coarse view--and professed moral refinement is often given to taking coarse views--there is something vulgar not only in recourse to abnormal artificial exigents and stimulations but also in interest in useless games and arts.
There are other forms of precocity in the female, dependent upon stimulations of other glands, but these forms are masculinisms, a masculinization of the personality, and not a true awakening of the feminine constitution.
The armies, besides the incitements from these speeches, were animated by national stimulations of their own.
By degrees they proceeded to the incitements and charms of vice and dissoluteness, to magnificent galleries, sumptuous bagnios, and all the stimulations and elegance of banqueting.
The city may be called an environment of greater quantitative stimulations than the country.
The reactions in movement upon these suggestions are very marked and appropriate, in customary or habitual lines, although the stimulations are quite subconscious.
He is in a sense passive; stimulations rain down upon him, and force him into certain attitudes and ways of action.
Furthermore, each of the senses has its own set of reflex adjustments to the stimulationswhich come to it.
Various reflexes may be brought out in a sleeper by slight stimulations to this or that region of his body.
They include all those responses which the nervous system makes to stimulations from the outside, in which the mind has no alternative or control.
The stimulations coming in from the body to the brain generally travel on the same side, although in certain cases parallel impulses are also sent over to the other hemisphere as well.
This control is seeing, and the whole mystery of consciousness is just this rendering of future stimulations or results into terms of present existence.
As the whole nervous system of our body has numerous communications between all its parts, it perceives in its totality something of all the stimulations of its parts, and the consciousness which accompanies them.
The brain receives its stimulations far more from the sensory, than from the sympathetic nerves.
The stimulations which are the result of the action of the environment only appear, of course, with this action, i.
Then consciousness pays less and less regard to the vital processes in its own organism, and more and more to the stimulations of its senses.
The lure of great cities is perhaps a consequence of stimulations which act directly upon the reflexes.
Now it is found that these suppressed complexes, which no longer respond to stimulations as they would under normal conditions, may still exercise an indirect influence upon the ideas which are in the focus of consciousness.
That the 'constant error' of time judgment is dependent upon the intensity of the stimulations employed, although the three stimulations limiting the two intervals remain of equal intensity.
Evidently, in all these cases, the effect of a difference between two stimulations was to introduce certain changes in sensation during the interval which they limited, owing to the fact that the subject expected the difference to occur.
Now a certain number of these stimulations which immediately precede M will determine the characteristic effect, the fusion color, for the point A' at the moment M.
That the introduction of either a local difference or a difference of intensity in the tactual stimulations limiting an interval has, in general, the effect of causing the interval to appear longer than it otherwise would appear.
By the time a dozen or more stimulationshad been given I would be working down near the knuckles, and the points would be right together.
The Talbot-Plateau law states that when two or more periodically alternating stimulations are given to the retina, there is a certain minimal rate of alternation required to produce a just constant sensation.
I could bring the knobs within two or three millimeters of each other and he would report two, but when only one point was used he would find out after a very few stimulations were given that it was only one.
Even in lowly organisms we have seen that behavior is not only the result of an innate constitution but also of the degree and kind of stimulations to which it has been subjected.
Thus it is not "love of light" that draws the moth into the flame but the mechanical steering of the body toward the source of light through the stimulations produced by the light waves.
Moreover, because these mental and bodily activities, being our own, can be rehearsed in what we call our memory without the repetition of the sensory stimulations which originally started them, and even in the presence of different ones.
If this is one to which the organism is accustomed the resulting complex in the highest nerve centers fits the subject, but as evolution proceeds and environment and capacity for sensation grow more complex, new stimulations occur.
It is prepared to be affected by outside stimulations and is ready to profit by them.
If I am to help others to increase their efficiency, I must devise new appeals to their interest and new stimulations to action.
By applying high frequency electrical stimulations to the medulla oblongata, at the same time bathing the cerebellum with ultra-violet, it might be done, but the chances are that either death or insanity would result.
By electric stimulations and vibratory treatments and by keeping him in a darkened room.
The events follow each other with such kaleidoscopic rapidity that the process is but a series of automatic stimulations and physiologic reactions.
When these stimulations are sufficiently strong but no action ensues, the reaction constitutes an emotion.
It is as the organs receive appropriate stimulations that attention is riveted on definite sensations.
It is when these stimulations are shaken together and become a system of mutual checks that they begin to take on ideally a rhythm borrowed from the order in which they actually recurred.
Successive stimulations continually exalt the tonic condition, the subsequent responses becoming, diphasic, and, with the attainment of optimum tone, a resultant negative response.
It is far more difficult to secure the constant duration of the tetanizing shock in successive stimulations at intervals of, say, one hour during twenty-four hours.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "stimulations" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
