... we borrowed a method from research on speech perception in human infants called the habituation-dishabituation technique. This approach is based on the observation that subjects perceiving the same stimulus over and over again gradually cease responding to it : they habituate. If subjects who have habituated to one stimulus perceive another they judge to be different, however, the strength of their response increases sharply. The habituation-dishabituation technique thus reveals whether an individual finds two stimuli similar or dissimilar. 1, record 1, English, - habituation%2Ddishabituation%20technique
