Furthermore, some writers maintain that Hume's writings on religion were not very influential at the time that they were published.

In response to the early-to-mid-17th century " continental rationalism " John Locke ( 1632 – 1704 ) proposed in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding ( 1689 ) a very influential view wherein the only knowledge humans can have is a posteriori, i. e., based upon experience.

Two very influential 20th-century teachers of this approach were Henriette Renie and Marcel Grandjany, who both studied with Alphonse Hasselmans.

With almost a thousand very highly cited publications, he is one of the most influential social scientists of the 20th century.

In their model, an environmental stimulus can have a very great effect on IQ, even for adults, but this effect also decays over time unless the stimulus continues ( the model could be adapted to include possible factors, like nutrition during early childhood, that may cause permanent effects ).

In an interview in 2000, Mikhail Gorbachev, in response to the comment " In the 1980s, you warned about the unprecedented dangers of nuclear weapons and took very daring steps to reverse the arms race ," said " Models made by Russian and American scientists showed that a nuclear war would result in a nuclear winter that would be extremely destructive to all life on Earth ; the knowledge of that was a great stimulus to us, to people of honor and morality, to act in that situation.

In the early fifties of the 19th century the taste for mountaineering rapidly developed for several very different reasons: A great stimulus was given to it by the foundation of the various Alpine clubs, each of which drew together the climbers who dwelt in the same country.

For example, David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel recorded the activity of single neurons in the primary visual cortex of the anesthetized cat, and showed how single neurons in this area respond to very specific features of a visual stimulus.

After the stimulus is applied, the membrane potential rapidly rises to a peak potential of + 40 mV at time = 2 ms. Just as quickly, the potential then drops and overshoots to-90 mV at time = 3 ms, and finally the resting potential of-70 mV is reestablished at time = 5 ms. Bottom: a plot of an experimentally determined action potential that is very similar in appearance to the idealized plot, except that the peak is much sharper and the initial drop is to-50 mV increasing to-30 mV before dropping back to the resting potential of-70 mV.

AEPs ( and ERPs ) are very small electrical voltage potentials originating from the brain recorded from the scalp in response to an auditory stimulus, such as different tones, speech sounds, etc.

If another stuffed owl is introduced ( or the same one removed and re-introduced ), the birds react to it again as though it were a predator, demonstrating that it is only a very specific stimulus that is habituated to ( namely, one particular unmoving owl in one place ).

He allows that such a work is too great for any one person ; but the very infinity of subjects is the stimulus to the pursuit of truth, and scholars strive because they have not attained.

This was essentially an upscaled version of the Maxim gun that was the very first successful fully automatic machine gun, requiring no outside stimulus in its firing cycle other than holding the trigger.

The simplest example of an instinctive behavior is a fixed action pattern, in which a very short to medium length sequence of actions, without variation, are carried out in response to a clearly defined stimulus.

Another very common conflict-inducing stimulus is the Stroop task ( Pardo et al., 1990 ), which involves naming the color ink of words that are either congruent (< span style =" color :# ff0000 "> RED </ span > written in red ) or incongruent (< span style =" color :# 0000ff "> RED </ span > written in blue ).

The automatic imitation comes very fast when a stimulus is given to replicate.

At first the stimulus model is not a very good representation of the presented stimulus and therefore there is a mismatch and responding continues, but with additional presentations the stimulus model is improved ; consequently there is no longer a mismatch and responding is inhibited causing habituation.

Only instead of flashing the entire stimulus on and off, only a very narrow portion or " slit " of the image is displayed.

:"... The child with low tone has muscles that are slow to initiate a muscle contraction, contract very slowly in response to a stimulus, and cannot maintain a contraction for as long as his ' normal ' peers.

Because these low-toned muscles do not fully contract before they again relax ( muscle accommodates to the stimulus and so shuts down again ), they remain loose and very stretchy, never realizing their full potential of maintaining a muscle contraction over time.

" This effect is very similar to the mere exposure effect in that the more a person is exposed to a stimulus, the more the person likes it ; however, there are a few exceptions to the mere exposure effect.

He brought scholars from foreign countries to act as teachers, and gave a very powerful stimulus to the educational development of the country.

By writing a very general stimulus ( in a linear system ) as the superposition of stimuli of a specific, simple form, often the response becomes easier to compute,

Cuddling, and skin-to-skin contact, also known as Kangaroo care, are seen as beneficial for all but the frailest ( very tiny babies are exhausted by the stimulus of being handled, or larger critically ill infants ).

This latency ( delay between stimulus and response ) is very stable across tasks — little else besides age affects the timing of its peak.
