Scientists have provided new evidence for cells learning without the need for complex brains and nervous systems.

The study looked at habituation, the process by which an organism gradually stops responding to a repeated stimulus. Its why humans stop noticing the ticking of a clock or become less distracted ...

The new research published on November 19 in Current Biology has found evidence of habituation - which can be defined as a type of learning whereby you get so used to something in your environment ...

IN a polygraphic study it was found that newborn babies responded differentially to pure and to patterned tones of equal sound pressure 1. Patterned (square-wave) tones were more potent stimuli ...

Habituation is a simple form of learning in which one's response to a certain trigger lessens with repeated exposure. It is how one learns to ignore things happening often, such as the ticking of ...

Habituation — adaptation’s less-glamorous sibling — involves the lessening response to a stimulus after repeated exposure. Think the need for a third espresso to maintain the same level of ...
