Question

Overlearning"" in habituation (or below-zero habituation) can occur if __________________. A. several different stimuli are used B. an intense stimulus is used C. habituation trials continue after the response has disappeared D. habituation trials are widely spaced over time

Answer 1

C. habituation trials continue after the response has disappeared.

Step-by-step explanation:

habituation involves the complete elimination of a particular response (i.e, zero frequency of occurrence). If the stimulus cintinues to be presented for an additional number of trials, then, although no further changes occur, the response will exhibit lower levels of recovery (e.g, spontaneous recovery is reduced) as if the response would have fallen below a zero frequency.
