Sensory overload can result from the overstimulation of any of the senses. Hearing: loud noise, or sound from multiple sources, such as several people talking at once. Sight: crowded or cluttered spaces, bright lights, strobing lights, or environments with much movement such as crowds or frequent scene changes on television.
Hanus Papousek (1977) looked at the concept that learning at an early stage of development may not be beneficial to the infant if it creates overstimulation. In an experiment he conditioned infants to turn their heads to the sound of a buzzer. The training for the task began either at birth or at 31 or at 44 days.
Hypokalemic sensory overstimulation is a neurological disorder characterized by a subjective experience of sensory overload and a relative resistance to lidocaine local anesthesia. The sensory overload is treatable with oral potassium gluconate .
Babies mimic their parents' pitch contour. French infants wail on a rising note while German infants favor a falling melody. [9] Overstimulation may be a contributing factor to infant crying and that periods of active crying might serve the purpose of discharging overstimulation and helping the baby's nervous system regain homeostasis.

Stimming has been interpreted as a protective response to overstimulation, in which people calm themselves by blocking less predictable environmental stimuli, to which they have a heightened sensitivity. [2] [4] A further explanation views stimming as a way to relieve anxiety and other negative or heightened emotions. [5]
Stimulation, in general, refers to how organisms perceive incoming stimuli. As such it is part of the stimulus-response mechanism. Simple organisms broadly react in three ways to stimulation: too little stimulation causes them to stagnate, too much to die from stress or inability to adapt, and a medium amount causes them to adapt and grow as they overcome it.

Once individuals have learned how to manage overstimulation it can be adapted to become a useful skill. Individuals with this trait can become investigators, they typically cause unity and harmony amongst people in their environment, seeking to manage the changing emotions of others in order to by proxy create an environment that is conducive ...
