Related to this topic, Lloyd et al. They indicate that behavioral disorders such as obesity or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD may be caused by abnormal habituation to the reinforcer due to genetic or environmental factors. Interestingly, studying the electrodermal orienting reflex in humans, Steiner and Barry argue against the dual-process theory's explanation that dishabituation is caused by sensitization, and instead suggest that dishabituation is a disruption of the habituation process, with its magnitude determined by the corresponding arousal level.
It is certainly debatable to what extent this can be generalized to other modalities and pathways. In a theoretical essay Cevik argues that the impact of a stimulus on behavior and its potential to modulate the effects of other stimuli increase as its distance from the body decreases, an interesting and certainly also debatable concept.
In summary, this research topic contains original research articles, reviews, and theoretical essays that provide an updated view on different models for studying habituation, its underlying mechanisms, and its importance as prerequisite for higher cognitive function. The number and high quality of the papers on this topic provide support for the notion that habituation is a rich area of study, touching on a number of important questions related to behavioral plasticity.

The initial passion that tends to mark the outset of a relationship typically gives way to something deeper and more lasting—a deeper, more meaningful love that is marked by friendship, support, and respect in addition to passion.
Habituation in relationships can become problematic, however, when it leads to taking the other person for granted. Long-term relationships can often fall victim to this problem. Over time, you might feel that your partner does not appreciate the things that you contribute to the relationship.
Or perhaps it is your partner who feels that they are being overlooked. So what can you do to overcome habituation and bring some of the initial spark back into your relationship? Habituation is a natural and normal part of our experience of the world. It allows us to function in environments where we are often inundated with sensory experiences and information.
Rather than being overwhelmed by all of the things that clamor for our attention, habituation allows us to pay less attention to certain elements so that we can better focus on others. Ever wonder what your personality type means? Sign up to find out more in our Healthy Mind newsletter.

Habituation, Sensitization, and Potentiation Potentiation, habituation, and sensitization are three ways in which stimuli in the environment produce changes in the nervous system.
Learning Objectives Differentiate among habituation, sensitization, and long-term potentiation. Habituation occurs when we learn not to respond to a stimulus that is presented repeatedly without change, punishment, or reward.
Sensitization occurs when a reaction to a stimulus causes an increased reaction to a second stimulus. It is essentially an exaggerated startle response and is often seen in trauma survivors.
