    Habituation

    Explanation:

    Habituation occurs whenever people, or even other living organisms are exposed to any repetitive stimuli until the people or the animal, gets desensitized.

    Thompson and Spencer, (1966) were able to display 9 criteria that shows whether somebody is having a habituation or not.
