Question

The sensory modality or quality of sensation associated with a stimulus depends solely on which receptor cells are stimulated, rather than on how they are stimulated." This generalization is known as the____________a. brain partitioning principle.b. principle of pathway analysis.c. regional cortex principle.d. principle of sensory organization.e. principle of labeled lines.

Answer 1

The generalization is known as Principle of labeled lines.

Option: (e)

Explanation:

• There are five basic stimulus namely touch, temperature, pain, pressure and vibration.

• The somatosensory system has the sensory receptors which receive the stimuli and transport them to the 'sensory cortex' through the nerve fibers.

• The cortex receives the stimulus and gives the command to the body on how to react. The sensory cortex is present in the parietal lobe.
