Facts about Habituation Process
- 05
Spontaneous recovery, a key feature of the habituation process, occurs when a habituated response returns after a rest period without further stimulus exposure.
- 04
Repeated exposure during the habituation process can lead to long-term habituation, where reduced responding persists for days or weeks after training.
- 03
Habituation process is distinct from sensory adaptation because it involves changes in neural processing rather than reduced sensitivity in sensory receptors.
- 02
During habituation, the decrease in response is specific to the repeated stimulus, leaving reactions to novel stimuli fully intact.
- 01
The habituation process is one of the simplest forms of learning, in which an organism decreases its response to a repeated, non-harmful stimulus over time.
