A very simple form of Template:Ency term through which a Template:Ency term subjected to repeated Template:Ency term tends to produce diminishing Template:Ency term (after Template:Ency person, 1960, p.189).
Habituation is primarely a property of Template:Ency term systems. It “consists in the weakening of existing (wired-in) synaptic Template:Ency term with repeated Template:Ency term” (Template:Ency person, 1979, p.163).
According to Template:Ency person this Template:Ency term “…is to be expected to some degree in all Template:Ency term when they are subjected to a repetitive Template:Ency term or Template:Ency term” (Ibid).
This of course, is true only if the Template:Ency term or Template:Ency term is non-destructive, or so dangerous that it elicits other types of Template:Ency term (as for example fighting or escaping).
It would be interesting to verify if Template:Ency term could be trained in this way.
