If you are experiencing habituation,
A

B
the lower centers of your brain are sending signals from sensory receptors to the cortex.
C
you are detecting the difference between two stimuli.
D
your sensory receptors are still responding to stimuli.

Understand the concept of habituation: Habituation is a psychological phenomenon where there is a decrease in response to a stimulus after repeated exposure. It is a form of non-associative learning.
Identify the role of sensory receptors in habituation: Sensory receptors continue to respond to stimuli, but the brain reduces its attention or response to these signals over time.
Differentiate habituation from sensory adaptation: Sensory adaptation involves a decrease in sensitivity of sensory receptors themselves, whereas habituation involves the brain's processing of these signals.
Consider the neural pathways involved: During habituation, the sensory receptors send signals to the brain, but the brain's response to these signals diminishes over time.
Apply this understanding to the problem: Recognize that in habituation, sensory receptors are still active and responding to stimuli, but the brain's attention to these signals decreases.
