Question

Habituation refers to

Answer 1

Answer: cognitive process that results in decreased response to a stimulus

Due to the cognitive process known as habituation, the response to a repetitive stimulus will decrease with time. Thus, a bird will habituate to the noise of a construction site after it has learned that it poses no danger. In this case, it may even construct a nest there, if a favorable site is found.

Answer 2

Answer;

Sensory process in which the change is a fairly short-lived one.

Explanation;

• Habituation is the result of sensory neurons not being able to produce action potentials and motor neurons not being able to produce action potentials.
• Habituation refers to a decrease in response as a result of repeated stimulation not due to peripheral processes like receptor adaptation or muscular fatigue.
• It is a simple form of learning, in which an animal, after a period of exposure to a stimulus, stops responding.
