Detailed explanation-1: -For example, rock squirrels are a commonly habituated animal in the park. If a person comes close trying to take a picture, the squirrel will scamper away. After this happens many times, the squirrel becomes less afraid of people, and a person can come closer before the squirrel leaves.
Detailed explanation-2: -Habituation and Dishabituation Examples For example, if a person who has lived in a rural area moves to a city, they may not be able to sleep at night in the beginning of their stay due to the lights and the noise of the city. However, as time goes on, they may become accustomed to these stimuli and be able to sleep.
Detailed explanation-3: -Habitualization is just a big fancy word for creating habits based on stimulation in your environment. One of the best examples children learn is of a dog who, when he heard a bell would come running because he knew that the bell mean food.
Detailed explanation-4: -Habituation is defined as a behavioral response decrement that results from repeated stimulation and that does not involve sensory adaptation/sensory fatigue or motor fatigue.
