Compare & Contrast
short term habituation &
long-term habituation
Short-term habituation
Rapid presentation of a stimulis with a short interval
between presentation results in habituation but see
spontaneous recovery the degree of recovery
depends on rest interval
Habituation: React less
to something with more
experience
Habituation reflects a
decreased responsiveness
of innate reflexes
Characteristics of Habituation
1. Specific to a particular stimulus malable 2. Will
recover with new, dissimilar stimuli 3. Temporary,
dissipate with time (spontaneous recorvery) 4. Not all
behaviors habituate (flavor neophobia) 5. Variable in the
length of of recovery 6. Sensitive to stimulus frequency
(higher frequency-slower recovery) 7. Sensitive to
stimulus intensity (greater intensity-slower recovery) 8.
Exposure to 2nd stimulus can cause recover of 1st
(dishabituation) recovery
Long-term habituation
One stimulus presentation a
day See more long term effects
See less spontaneous recvover
