stimuluskohtainen
Stimuluskohtainen is a Finnish compound adjective used in scientific and academic contexts to describe phenomena, responses, or effects that are tied to a specific stimulus. The term combines stimulus, a loanword common in psychology and neuroscience, with kohtainen, meaning pertaining to or dependent on.
