erau apatici


Explanation:
„In psychology, a stimulus is an energy pattern (such as light or sound) which is registered by the senses. In behaviorism and related stimulus–response theories, a stimulus constitutes the basis for behavior, whereas it constitutes the basis for perception in perceptual psychology.[1]”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulus_(psychology)

APATÍE s. f. Stare de indiferență, lipsă de interes față de orice activitate și față de lumea înconjurătoare. ♦ (În concepția filozofilor stoici antici) Ideal moral care constă în înăbușirea oricărei pasiuni.

Asker: cumva "sufereau de privatiuni"?


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Julia Prazsmary: Dupa parerea mea, apatia este raspunsul la lipsa stimulilor. Deci, sunt într-o oală, dar fara a fi același lucru. Lipsa stimulilor este lipsa stimulilor. In context, asta era problema lor, cu toate că sunt convinsa ca erau si apatici, bietii oameni...

disagree  Sandra & Kenneth Grossman: Nu. Puteau if apatici ca rezultat al lipsei de stimuli intelectuali. Poate nu.

le lipseau stimulentele, le lipsea imboldul


Explanation:
M-am gandit ca asta ar fi defapt ideea, poate ca insa exista un termen mai medical (de exemplu: erau privati de stimulii externi pentru ca nu li se oferea ocazia).

Exista si "stimulare externa". Vezi aici:
