Sarah is given one 100-oz bottle and one 99-oz bottle. She says that they feel the same weight. Then, she is given a 100-oz bottle and a 97-oz bottle. This time, she notices a difference. This is an example of what?

Subliminal System
The vestibular system is best described as

a system that allows us to learn to read
a sensory system that is responsible for providing our brain with information about motion, head position, and spatial orientation
