when kevin started his car in the parking lot, he also turned on the radio to his favorite station. as he enetered the street next to the campus, he turned the radio up due to the increased background noise in the car. entering the highway, he again increased the volume until he could hear the music clearly. driving into the driveway at home, he saw his mother watering her roses in the front yard. "Kevin! Turn down that radio. We are going to be deaf before you are twenty five!" she instructed as he open the car door. he had not noticed how very loud the radio was until she mentioned it. Kevin had experienced

a. absolute threshold constancy
b. weber's law
c. sensory adaption
d. sensory deprivation IS( C )CORRECT ANSWER THANK YOU :0

Yes

Actually, the correct answer is sensory adaptation.

Sensory adaptation refers to the process by which our sensory receptors become less responsive to constant or unchanging stimuli over time. In this scenario, Kevin initially turned up the volume on his car radio due to the increased background noise in the car and on the street. However, as he continued driving and the noise level remained constant, his sensory receptors adapted to the stimulus, making the volume seem less loud to him. This is why he had not noticed how loud the radio was until his mother pointed it out.

Absolute threshold constancy is not the correct answer because it refers to the minimum intensity of a stimulus that can be detected consistently by an individual. It does not explain why Kevin did not notice the loudness of the radio initially.

Weber's law also does not apply in this situation. Weber's law states that the noticeable difference between two stimuli is based on a constant proportion of the original stimulus. It does not explain why Kevin did not perceive the loudness of the radio until his mother mentioned it.

Therefore, the correct answer is sensory adaptation.
