habituáció
Habituáció, or habituation, is a fundamental form of learning in which an organism's response to a stimulus decreases over time with repeated exposure. This process is a basic mechanism of neural plasticity, allowing living beings to adapt to their environment by filtering out irrelevant or non-threatening stimuli. Unlike classical conditioning, which involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned response, habituation occurs simply through repeated exposure to a stimulus without additional reinforcement.
The phenomenon was first systematically studied in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by researchers such
Neuroscientifically, habituation is associated with changes in synaptic transmission, where repeated stimulation weakens the connection between
Habituation plays a role in various behaviors, including sensory adaptation, where prolonged exposure to a stimulus
