Neural correlates of cardiac orienting response habituation
… to determine some of the neural correlates of habituation to repetitive auditory stimulation, and to relate those correlates to the existing theories concerning habituation mechanisms. As the following literature review will reveal, a well controlled correlational study dealing with habituation …

ANXIETY AND INITIAL VALUE DEPENDENCY IN STARTLE HABITUATION
… (TA) and contextual anxiety (CA) relate to habituation kinetics of the startle eyeblink response—initial value, linear slope, and the relationship between them (initial value dependency, or IVD). In study 1, participants (n=31; 15 control, 16 CA) were exposed to two blocks of acoustic …

Cardiopulmonary analysis of habituation to simulated kayak ergometry
… forms of exercise equipment require a period of habituation in which individuals adapt to the novel movement required in operating the device and reach a point of physiological stability. During this adaptation period, physiological variables which indicate cardiopulmonary demand typically will …

Habituation to Auditory Stimuli by Captive African Elephants (Loxodonta Africana)
… with elephants, but one of the simplest forms, habituation, has not. As an individual learns that a stimulus is neither harmful nor beneficial, it will decrease its response to the stimulus through the process of habituation. Elephants possess a well-developed sensory system and may habituate to …

Septotemporal Variation in Theta Rhythm Dynamics: Effects of Speed and Habituation
<p>Theta (6-12 Hz) field potentials and the synchronization (coherence) of these potentials present neural network indices of hippocampal physiology. Theta signals within the hippocampal formation may reflect alterations in sensorimotor integration, the flow of sensory input and/or distinct …

Evaluating Dynamic ‘Landing Gear Unsafe’ Auditory Alerts as a Defense Against Habituation
… it is possible to become habituated to alerts. Habituation is the elimination of a response as a result of continuous exposure to a stimulus. In this small-scale study, methods to reduce pilot habituation to the 'landing gear unsafe' auditory alert were investigated. Ten subjects executed eight …

The effects of changing the interstimulus interval during habituation in Caeorhaditis elegans
Although habituation is one of the simplest forms of non-associative learning, its underlying neural mechanisms are still not well understood. One factor that plays a key role in habituation is interstimulus interval (ISI). Understanding, at a behavioural level, the effects that ISI has on …

Habituation and Dishabituation in the Olfactory Bulb: From Neural Responses to Behavior
<p>Habituation and dishabituation modulate the neural resources and behavioral significance allocated to incoming stimuli across the sensory systems. The purpose of the research presented in this dissertation was to characterize these processes in the mouse olfactory bulb (OB) and to determine if …

Within-session session changes in responding as a function of habituation vs. satiation.
… that these decreases may often be due to habituation to the sensory properties of the reinforcing stimulus. The investigation reported here sought to determine whether decreases in operant responding by 3 adults with developmental disabilities were due to satiation or habituation. During …

Relative habituation and recovery of visual attention to orientation-movement compounds by newborn infants.
Previous research has demonstrated that newborn infants are capable of discriminating stationary objects based on one stimulus dimension. The present study asked the following questions: can newborns process spatial orientation changes?; does stimulus movement influence spatial orientation …

Strength of family bond predicts disrupted neural habituation to visual familial threat in adolescence
… used in a novel way to measure disrupted neural habituation in a threat network comprising nodes of the limbic system across several classes of stimuli including unpredictable familial and nonfamilial threat and joy. In the present longitudinal design, measures of family connectedness were …
