The type of learning in which there is loss or decrease in response to repeated stimuli?
Correct answer: B. Habituation
- A. Imprinting
- B. Habituation
- C. Latent learning
- D. Insight learning
Explanation
Habituation is a non-associative form of learning in which an organism's response decreases after repeated exposure to a harmless stimulus. The likely mistake is imprinting, which is rapid learning during a sensitive period rather than a gradual reduction in response.

About Brain
The brain includes the cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, hypothalamus and medulla, each with distinct roles in sensation, movement and homeostasis. Questions connect major brain regions with their functions, reflex control and coordination, while distinguishing involuntary responses from hormonal regulation.
