In the study by Eimas and colleagues, which looked at how well babies understood speech sounds between /b/ and /p/, habituation was used.

<h3>What is habituation?</h3>

Infants' capacity for face recognition is prone to "perceptual constriction" during the first year of life, which has the effect of making viewers less able to tell apart previously discriminable faces (such as those of different races) from one another.

A non-associative learning process known as habituation occurs when a stimulus is presented repeatedly or for an extended period of time and results in a decrease in the innate (non-reinforced) response to that stimulus.

Habitual responses include those that include the entire organism (such as a full-body startle response) or simply certain parts of the organism (e.g., habituation of neurotransmitter release from in vitro Aplysia sensory neurons).

Habituation has been dubbed "the simplest, most ubiquitous form of learning as fundamental a property of life as DNA" due to its widespread universality across all biological phyla.

Functionally speaking, habituation is believed to free up cognitive resources for other stimuli that are connected with biologically significant events (i.e., punishment/reward) by reducing the reaction to an insignificant signal. For instance, when creatures learn that frequent, loud noises have no repercussions, they may become accustomed to them.

What can we infer from the stickleback fossil record about evolutionary processes occurring today?
s2008m [1.1K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Evolutionary patterns observed in the fossil record are consistent with evolutionary processes occurring today.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Three spine stickleback is a model organisms for studies in evolution because; Stickleback fish are small and have short generation times. These two characteristics make them easy to keep in a lab and useful for conducting genetic studies, since researchers can follow several generations of fish in a relatively short time.
  • Also, stickleback fish populations occur throughout the Northern Hemisphere in a wide range of environments, so researchers can compare different populations and study how they have changed over time in response to different environmental pressures.
