Kyler Harmon · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter e. habituation.

Explanation:

Habituation is studied to examine children's cognition and perception. Infants tend to stare for longer periods at novel than at repeated stimuli. That decrease in responsiveness happens gradually, and is called habituation. As a matter of fact, habituation refers to any process of gradually becoming less responsive to the same stimuli, even if not visual.
