Eight-month-old Andrew suffered brain damage at birth. His identical twin, Alex, had no brain damage. Research on Habituation will likely predict that: <u>Alex will not habituate as well as Andrew.</u>
<h3>What is habituation?</h3>
Habituation is a kind of non-associative learning whereby an innate response to a stimulus decreases after repeated or prolonged presentations of that stimulus. Responses that habituate include those that involve the intact organism or those that involve only components of the organism.
Therefore, the prediction that the research will pose is that Alex will not habituate as well as Andrew.
