Rationale for change

Adapted the distal stimuli definition as I did in the distal stimuli card.

Also felt that this definition could be improved with an example so adapted the example given in Kaplan:

Sensory receptors are neurons that respond to stimuli by triggering electrical signals that carry information to the central nervous system. Physical objects outside of the body are referred to as distal stimuli. These objects often produce photons, sound waves, heat, pressure, or other stimuli that directly interact with sensory receptors; these sensory-stimulating byproducts are called proximal stimuli. For example, a campfire is a distal stimulus. The photons that are emitted by the fire, the sounds of crackling and popping, and the energetic gas particles that transfer heat energy are all proximal stimuli.

to a phone ringing example.
