Low Registration is best characterized as which pattern?

• A. A pattern of hypersensitivity to all stimuli
• B. A pattern of excessive attention to every sensation
• C. A pattern where a person may miss sensory cues and require strong or frequent stimuli
• D. A pattern of selecting only one sensory modality at a time

Answer: (C)

Low Registration reflects a high neurological threshold with a passive response style. People with this pattern tend to miss sensory cues and don’t notice input as readily unless it is strong or frequent. They may seem slow to respond or disengaged until the stimulus becomes quite noticeable, which is exactly described by needing stronger or more frequent stimuli to register. This isn’t about being hypersensitive to stimuli, nor about constantly attending to every sensation, nor about focusing on a single sensory modality.
