Action slip refers to when a person intends to perform a particular action but ends up doing something else automatically or unintentionally. For example, intending to turn off a light switch but accidentally turning on another switch that is located nearby. Negative priming refers to a situation where a person's response to a stimulus is slower or inhibited due to exposure to a previous, related stimulus. Inhibition of return refers to a temporary decrease in attention to a previously attended location, which enhances the ability to attend to new stimuli. Habituation refers to a decrease in responsiveness to a repeated or continuous stimulus over time.
