Definitionv1DF-345
Trigger fatigue
the state where a trigger system produces so many signals that the brain stops distinguishing between them, leading to reflexive dismissal, desensitization, and ultimately systemic numbness to all triggers as a category
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes the semantic boundary of 'trigger fatigue' by describing its key characteristics: signal overload, inability to distinguish signals, reflexive dismissal, desensitization, and systemic numbness. It's specific enough to distinguish from related concepts like attention overload or alarm fatigue while being consistent with the curriculum's usage.
