Take three large cereal bowls or small mixing bowls.
Fill one with very cold water, another with hot water
(not boiling or scalding), and the third with lukewarm
water. Hold your left hand in the cold water and your
right hand in the hot water for at least 1 minute. Then
quickly plunge both hands into the lukewarm water
at the same time.
Why do you experience the illusion that the
lukewarm water feels simultaneously warmer and
colder than its actual temperature? The answer is
adaptation. You perceive the lukewarm water as
warm on your cold-adapted left hand and as cold on
your warm-adapted right hand. This illustrates that
our perceptions of sensory stimuli are relative and are
affected by differences between stimuli we are already
adapted to and new stimuli.

Use the passage and the diagram to answer the following questions with T (true)
or F (false).
1. The purpose of the experiment is to demonstrate the process of
transduction.
2. The bowl in the center in the experiment contains very hot water.
3. If you dipped your separate hands in the cold and hot water for
only an instant, the lukewarm water would probably just feel
lukewarm.
4. The result would not be as dramatic if the temperatures of the cold
and hot water were not so extreme, that is, if they were cool and
mildly warm.
5. Sensory adaptation explains why we become used to some familiar
sounds in our environment but are alerted when we are exposed to
unusual or extremely loud sounds.
