What will be an ideal response?
A good answer would include the following key points:
- Habituation
- Novel stimulus presents an orienting response (quiet and attentive)
- Repeated exposures to the stimulus reduces the orienting response (no longer attentive)
- Learning to recognize original and distinguish from new stimulus occurs when habituation occurs followed by another orienting response to a different novel stimulus
