Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Habituation is a decrease in response to a stimulus after repeated presentations. The loud, banging sound that occurs every 5 minutes is the most difficult to habituate to because it is unpredictable and startling, making it more attention-grabbing and less likely to be ignored over time compared to constant or familiar stimuli.
