Sensory Adaptation/Fatigue

- Reduced sensitivity in sensory receptors due to a continuous, unchanging stimulus

Habituation

A decrease in response strength (an experience) to the same stimulation repeatedly presented

Perceptual learning

Experience with a set of stimuli makes it easier to distinguish the stimuli

Fatigue

Reduced sensitivity in sensory receptors due to a continuous, unchanging stimulus

Spontaneous Recovery

an increase in responding after a longer delay than usual in extinction trials

metacognition

born with knowledge of the world.

• People who have higher resilience scores and a sense of purpose in life show

greater habituation to pain stimuli and less chronic pain syndrome

Habituation techniques

in developmental research-infants orientation response (play foreign language over and over, show some kind of reaction, than habituate it, than change intonation to see if it will draw attention again

Fetal Learning (habituation)

reflects the functioning of the CNS

Spontaneous recovery

temporary abstinence

• Habituation in more complex organisms

tends to be obscured by other forms of learning; but can be demonstrated with spinal animals.
