Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Habituation is the process of becoming less responsive to stimuli that convey little or no new information. As we repeatedly encounter a stimulus that is irrelevant or inconsequential, our brain learns to tune it out in order to focus on more important information. This allows us to conserve our cognitive resources and maintain our attentional focus on important events or stimuli.
