Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Habituation is a decrease in response to a stimulus after repeated or prolonged exposure to it. Learning to ignore a barking dog is an example of habituation because the response to the stimulus (barking) decreases over time as one becomes accustomed to the sound. A is incorrect because smoking cigarettes is not an example of habituation but rather addiction. B is incorrect because learning to ride a bike is an example of skill acquisition or procedural learning. D is incorrect because associating the smell of rose perfume with your grandmother is an example of classical conditioning.
