Immediately after putting on a shirt, your skin might feel itchy. However, this perception soon fades due to:

a. sensory adaptation

b. accommodation

c. the increase of transduction

d. reduced motor unit recruitment

e. reduced receptor amplification

Answer: A. Sensory adaptation

Explanation: Sensory adaptation is the phenomenon of adaptation to a particular stimulus, whereby sensory receptors adapt to a given stimulus over the time it takes for the receptors to adapt to the stimulus. This adaptation time can vary from a few moments, in the case of itching for due to a new shirt, to a few minutes if we hit the sea at the beginning of the bathing season when the water is fresher than usual, so the receptors should get used to the feeling of a certain cold.
