Based on the stimuli given, you could make the following observations based on thermoreceptors:
1. The ice cream is cold: This observation is related to the temperature of the ice cream, which would be sensed by thermoreceptors in your skin or mouth as a decrease in temperature.
You cannot make the following observations based on thermoreceptors:
2. The ice cream is white: The color of the ice cream is a visual observation and cannot be sensed by thermoreceptors.
3. The ice cream is heavy: The weight of the ice cream is a proprioceptive observation, which is detected by sensors in muscles, joints, and tendons, rather than thermoreceptors.
4. The ice cream is sweet: The sweetness of the ice cream is a gustatory (taste) observation, which is perceived by taste buds and not by thermoreceptors.
which of the folloeing observations could you make based on the stimuli to your thermoreceptors? the ice cream is white. the ice cream is cold. the ice cream is heavy. the ice cream is sweet.
