Dishabituation refers to the recovery of a previously habituated response due to the introduction of a novel stimulus. In this case, Alex lost interest in the sequence of square objects due to habituation but regained interest when a triangular object was introduced, indicating dishabituation. Sustained attention refers to the ability to maintain focus over a prolonged period. Orientation refers to the initial response to a new stimulus. Visual preference refers to an individual's tendency to prefer looking at certain visual stimuli over others.
