reception

Examples of reception in the following topics:

• Integration of Signals from Mechanoreceptors

  • In the somatosensory system, receptive fields are regions of the skin or of internal organs.
  • Some types of mechanoreceptors have large receptive fields, while others have smaller ones.
  • Large receptive fields allow the cell to detect changes over a wider area, but lead to a less-precise perception.
  • Receptors with large receptive fields usually have a "hot spot": an area within the receptive field (usually in the center, directly over the receptor) where stimulation produces the most intense response.
  • The size of the receptive field of a single receptor could be estimated from that distance.

• Reception

  • Reception is the first step in the processing of sensation and is dependent on the receptor type, stimulus, and receptive field.
  • The first step in sensation is reception: the activation of sensory receptors by stimuli such as mechanical stimuli (being bent or squished, for example), chemicals, or temperature.
  • The region in space in which a given sensory receptor can respond to a stimulus, be it far away or in contact with the body, is that receptor's receptive field.
  • Think for a moment about the differences in receptive fields for the different senses.

• Cutaneous Sensation

  • Four key types of mechanoreceptor have been described based on their response to stimulation and receptive field.
  • The receptive field—the region in which a receptor can sense an effect—can vary from small to large.
  • It demonstrates a rapid response and has a small receptive field; it is useful for detecting texture or movement of objects against the skin.
  • It demonstrates a slow response and has a large receptive field; it is good for detecting steady pressure or stretching, such as during the movement of a joint.
  • It demonstrates a fast response and has a large receptive field; it is useful for detecting large changes in the environment, such as vibrations.

• Intended Context of Reception

  • Art's context of reception depends on a variety of circumstances, both on the part of the artist as well as the artistic community the artist is participating in.
  • Art's context of reception depends on a variety of circumstances, both on the part of the artist as well as the artistic community and climate that the artist is participating in.

• Primary Sources of American Law

  • First, all U.S. states except Louisiana have enacted "reception statutes" which generally state that the common law of England (particularly judge-made law) is the law of the state to the extent that it is not repugnant to domestic law or indigenous conditions.
  • Some reception statutes impose a specific cutoff date for reception, such as the date of a colony's founding, while others are deliberately vague.
  • However, it is important to understand that despite the presence of reception statutes, much of contemporary American common law has diverged significantly from English common law.

• Aphasia

  • Examples of well-known aphasia subtypes are Broca's aphasia, also called expressive aphasia, and Wernicke's aphasia, also called receptive aphasia.
  • In contrast to expressive aphasia, damage to the temporal lobe may result in a fluent aphasia that is called receptive aphasia (also known as sensory aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia).
  • Individuals with receptive aphasia may speak in long sentences that have no meaning, add unnecessary words, and even create new "words" (neologisms).
  • For example, someone with receptive aphasia may say, "You know that smoodle pinkered and that I want to get him round and take care of him like you want before", meaning, "The dog needs to go out so I will take him for a walk".

• Common Law

  • First, all U.S. states except Louisiana have enacted "reception statutes" which generally state that the common law of England (particularly judge-made law) is the law of the state to the extent that it is not repugnant to domestic law or indigenous conditions.
  • Some reception statutes impose a specific cutoff date for reception, such as the date of a colony's founding, while others are deliberately vague.
  • Unlike the states, there is no plenary reception statute at the federal level that continued the common law and thereby granted federal courts the power to formulate legal precedent like their English predecessors.

• Characteristics of Innovative Organizations

  • Being receptive to new business ideas means being receptive to mistakes as a necessary, and sometimes even crucial, part of the process.

• Consumer Perception of Communication

  • Companies must ask where the receiver is most likely to be receptive of the message.
  • For example, a person considering the purchase of a new car will be more receptive to marketing communications from a car dealership than a person who frequently uses public transportation.
