Habituation is the tendency of the brain to ignore environmental factors that remain constant. It is a type of learning in which an organism gradually decreases its response to a stimulus after repeated exposure to it. Adaptation refers to the process by which an organism becomes better suited to its environment, while accommodation refers to the adjustment of the lens of the eye to focus on objects at different distances. Dishabituation refers to the recovery of a response that has undergone habituation, due to the presentation of a novel or unexpected stimulus.
