Behavioral habituation

Use

Short-term behavioral habituation is the response decrement observed in many behaviors that occurs during repeated presentation of non-reinforced stimuli.
Fetal rate of behavioral habituation is associated with information processing during the first 6 months of infancy.
May and Hoy (1991) suggest that behavioral habituation is not the result of declining AN2 responses, based on an earlier physiological study of AN2 (Nolen and Hoy 1987) that, they claim, failed to find significant response decrement even at a pulse rate of 15/s.
They found that the decreased synaptic transmission that resulted in behavioral habituation is due to the inactivation of Calcium (Ca++) channels in the presynaptic terminal, which control the amount of neurotransmitter available for release.
