Sensitivity - Sensitivity

Japanese: 感受性 - かんじゅせい（英語表記）sensitivity

Sensitivity is the ability to perceive changes in environmental phenomena as stimuli, and susceptibility is the tendency to be easily excited by stimuli. In addition, when the ability to distinguish differences in the strength of sensory stimuli, that is, the discrimination threshold, is low, we say that we are highly sensitive or acupuncture. In contrast, when the absolute threshold is low, we say that we are highly sensitive or acupuncture. In medicine, it refers to the reaction of bacteria to drugs.

環境内の事象の変化を刺激として感受する能力を感度，刺激に対して興奮しやすい性質を感受性という。また，感覚の刺激の強さの差を識別する能力，すなわち弁別しきい値が低いときに，感受性が高いとか鋭敏だとかいう。これに対して，絶対しきい値が低いときは感度が高い，または敏感だという。医学では，薬に対する細菌の反応をいう。
