Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jeremy's double take can be classified as an orientation response, as he is responding to a sudden stimulus (something falling out of a tree) by turning his attention towards it. Habituation refers to a decrease in response to a stimulus over time, perceptual expectancy refers to our tendency to perceive things in a certain way based on our prior experiences, and divided attention refers to the ability to focus on multiple things at once.
