Researchers have studied the perception of taste. Which of the following is an accurate conclusion? As a person ages, his or her sensitivity to taste perception remains unchanged. Children under the age of 1 cannot perceive taste differences. Taste receptors can be found throughout the mouth. The olfactory bulb is responsible for sending messages about taste from the mouth to the brain. There are four primary tastes: salty, spicy, sour, sweet.

Some sensory receptors, such as those for taste, smell, and pressure, readilyundergo the process of sensory adaptation,or decreased response to a stimulus. In contrast, receptors for pain are less prone to adaptation. Why does this make good biological sense? What do you think happens to children who are born without the ability to feel pain normally?
