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.
