Habituation is a decrease in behavioral responsiveness that occurs when a stimulus is repeated frequently without a subsequent reward or punishment. It's a very simple type of learning which has roots in ultimate causation (evolutionary cause): it increases fitness by allowing animals to distinguish between "real" stimuli, and those that do not produce results. In other words, some stimuli are ignored either because they do not have benefits, or the animal would waste energy pursuing the stimulus, without results.
Example:Day 1: You open your front door to see a deer feeding 200 feet away. The moment you open the door, it takes one glance at you, turns and runs away.Day 2: You open your front door to see the same deer feeding 200 feet away. Because nothing happened last time - no shouting, no chasing, no harm to it - the deer may be less concerned. The deer looks up, and trots off Into the Woods.
Day 3: You open your front door to see the same deer feeding 200 feet away. This time, it stops feeding, looks at you, and keeps watch on you while you walk out to get the morning newspaper. It does not run away.
Day 4: You open your front door to see the deer feeding in the yard 200 feet away. This time, it looks up once at you, then resumes feeding.
Day 5: This time, you open the door and the deer is 100 feet away. It barely notices you as you walk out to get the mail.
At this point, the animal is habituated - i.e. it does not change its behavior in response to your presence.
Example:A hydra (predatory water cnidarian) will contract if prodded or disturbed. However, after a certain number of times, the hydra will simply stop responding, "realizing" that the particular stimulus will not affect it or produce results.Habituation is a decrease in behavioral responsiveness that occurs when a stimulus is repeated frequently without a subsequent reward or punishment.

Habituation is when you get used to something so the physical or mental effects are lessened. An example many can relate to is when you get used to a certain level of caffeine and gradually need more to reach the same physical effects. Some people have even trained themselves to tolerate certain poisons and other substances, but I wouldn't try that without lots of research.
This phenomenon is known as habituation. It occurs when repeated exposure to a stimulus leads to a decreased response over time. Habituation helps organisms filter out non-threatening or irrelevant stimuli to focus on more important information.
The brainstem, particularly the reticular activating system, is responsible for habituation. It filters out repetitive or nonthreatening stimuli, allowing the brain to focus on more important information.
The loss of responsiveness to stimuli that convey little or no information is known as habituation. This process allows organisms to filter out repetitive or non-relevant stimuli in order to focus on more important information in their environment.
Flood plains are usually level and fertile due to the nutrient rich sediment that occasionally covers the ground. As to habitation, the risk of flood damage to property (and possibly loss of life) must be considered before building on a flood plain.
A MOHO (Model of Human Occupation) is important in occupational therapy as it helps therapists understand how a person's occupational performance is influenced by their volition, habituation, and performance capacity. By using the MOHO model, therapists can develop intervention strategies tailored to an individual's needs, enabling them to engage in meaningful activities and improve their overall well-being.

The process is called habituation. It involves the decrease in response to a repeated or prolonged stimulus, where the organism learns to ignore or adapt to the stimulus over time.
Conditioning
Habituation is a form of learning where an organism decreases or ceases its response to a repetitive stimulus that has no consequence. Classical conditioning is a type of associative learning where an organism learns to associate a neutral stimulus with a meaningful stimulus and eventually produces a similar response to the neutral stimulus alone. In both habituation and classical conditioning, the organism's response to a stimulus changes over time due to repeated exposure.
The term for a person's tendency to become familiar with a stimulus due to repeated experiences is "habituation." It is a decrease in response to a stimulus after repeated exposure to it.
No, it was Pavlov.
It will heighten the tolerance pretty fast.
It's called tolerance, or habituation.
