stimulus1. any drug, agent, electrical impulse, or other factor able to cause a response in an organism 2. an object or event that is apprehended by the senses 3. Med a former name for stimulantStimulus something that excites to action and motivates behavior. The concept of stimulus is characteristic primarily of those trends in psychology that base behavior analysis on the stimulus-response correlation (classical psychophysics and especially behaviorism, as well as neobehaviorism). The term “stimulus” is also retained in some psychological concepts that in essence supersede the stimulus-response correlation. Thus, for example, in the Würzburg school, a task or an awareness of a goal is considered to be a stimulus. In this case, the term “stimulus” is almost metaphorical. Even further from the term’s original meaning is the treatment it receives in the cultural and historical conceptions of L. S. Vygotskii, who established a functional difference between stimulus objects, at which action is directed, and stimulus means, by which action is accomplished. According to Vygotskii, signs serve as stimulus means. In sociopsychological studies a distinction is sometimes made between motives as internal excitations and stimuli as external excitations to action (see Chelovek i ego rabota [collection], 1967, pp. 38–39).

stimulus [stim´u-lus] (L.) any agent, act, or influence that produces functional or trophic reaction in a receptor or an irritable tissue.conditioned stimulus a stimulus that acquires the ability to evoke a given response by repeatedly being linked with another stimulus that naturally evokes that response; see also conditioning.depolarizing stimulus a stimulus that lowers the potential" >resting potential, making the inside of a fiber less negative. In cardiac fibers this means bringing the resting potential from −90 mV to −70 mV.discriminative stimulus a stimulus associated with reinforcement, which exerts control over a given type of behavior; the subject must discriminate between closely related stimuli and respond positively only with this particular stimulus.eliciting stimulus any stimulus, conditioned or unconditioned, that elicits a response.threshold stimulus a stimulus that is just strong enough to elicit a response.unconditioned stimulus any stimulus that naturally evokes a specific response; see also conditioning.stim·u·lus, pl. stim·u·li (stim'yū-lŭs, -lī), 1.
