Detailed explanation-1: -Habituation procedures are based on the assumption that infants’ looking is influenced by novelty, and that infants look longer during test at novel items (Welch, 1974; Wetherford & Cohen, 1973).
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, an infant may gaze upon a visual stimulus that has been presented to him for 1 minute. After habituation to that stimulus, the observer will determine the amount of time the infant spends in looking at a new stimulus.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is generally utilized as an instrument to demonstrate the cognitive abilities of infants and young children. Habituation in child development is when a child starts giving less attention or paying no attention after repeated exposure to a stimulus. It is when a child stops responding to stimuli.
Detailed explanation-4: -Many prominent studies of infant cognition over the past two decades have relied on the fact that infants habituate to repeated stimuli – i.e. that their looking times tend to decline upon repeated stimulus presentations.
