• To detect stimuli and send messages to the brain

• To control immediate behavior directly

• To store stimuli as memories

• To synthesize information from different senses

How do sensory receptors contribute to behavior?

• By detecting stimuli and sending signals to the brain

• By sending messages that can lead to immediate responses

• By controlling voluntary movements directly

• By converting stimuli into nutrients

Which of the following is a function of the brain regarding sensory information?

• To process sensory information for memory storage

• To generate sensory stimuli

• To coordinate response to sensory stimuli

• To transmit sensory signals to other bodies

In which way do sensory receptors influence memory?

• By sending information that the brain can store as memories

• By detecting important stimuli that might become a memory

• By deciding which memories to keep

• By creating identical copies of memories in different brain areas

What is the main process happening when you touch a hot surface?

• Sensory receptors send pain signals to the brain

• Muscles immediately react without brain involvement

• The brain receives pain signals and triggers withdrawal

• The pain is stored directly as memory without processing

Which role do sensory receptors play in storing new information?

• They send information to the brain that can be stored as memory

• They help prioritize stimuli for memory storage

• They choose what information should be forgotten

• They convert information into neural language for easy storage

How do sensory receptors assist in learning new skills?

• By creating new neural pathways independently

• By detecting relevant stimuli for the skill

• By sending stimuli information to be processed and remembered by the brain

• By directly teaching the brain how to perform tasks

What happens when sensory receptors send messages to the brain but there is no immediate response?

• The brain deletes the information

• The message might be stored as memory for future use

• The body reacts blindly

• The brain prioritizes and stores information as needed

Which of these statements accurately describes the process of sensation and perception?

• A. Sensory receptors detect stimuli and send messages to the brain

• B. The brain ignores irrelevant stimuli from receptors

• C. The brain interprets messages to form perceptions

• D. Perception initiates the stimulus receptors to activate

How can sensory receptors affect decision-making?

• By providing information for the brain to process and analyze

• By eliminating irrelevant choices immediately

• By storing sensory information as memories used to inform future decisions

• By generating choices based on past experiences without processing
