the intensity of the US varied across three sets of trials. Which feature of CS response strength was most indicative of habituation?
a. A rapid increase in CS response strength followed by leveling off
b. A slow, steady increase in CS response strength
c. A steady increase to the asymptote, then a decrease
d. A repeating series of rises and falls in CS response strength
c. A steady increase to the asymptote, then a decrease
Answer feedback: Initial exposure to the low-intensity US produced the familiar increase in CS response strength. With continued exposure, however, CS response strength declined over the remainder of the session. This consistent decline demonstrated habituation. It was not observed in the trials involving the medium-intensity or the high-int0ensity US.
