 habituation isn't these things I'm gonna make a note about the test here and I don't do this very often so pay close attention these words appear repeatedly on the test some of them happen two or three times that's okay I'm trying to get you to understand particular concepts anyway sensory adaptation it's basically overload of the system right you know if I constantly flick my finger like this kind of hurts at first after a while it was numb your senses just adapt to it you don't feel it anymore that's not habituation that sensory adaptation same thing with really loud noises right just once you get on overload just kind of shuts down you're just tired not habituated it's just tired and you know we're up skiing the other day and you know just working by the end of the day I'm just so exhausted that when that annoying sound went off down at the village at Schweitzer there I just didn't care that's not habituation it was I'm just exhausted this works at the interneuron location it slows habituation works at that interneuron spot it's not on the sensory it's not on a motor now you're still detecting those things but it the reaction to that particular thing doesn't happen it doesn't make that between the sensory response specific orienting response will decrease you know example I make a loud you may have just tried to orient towards that loud noise even though I came from you oh what's going on there right so you orient or that it's gonna that orienting response will decrease with the repeated presentation a great example of this was in a couple when I was living in Afghanistan in Kabul and the traffic is just horrific you just came to imagine unless you've been there to a country that has that sort of traffic you know Egypt is some pretty bad traffic too but Kabul is oh my gosh there's nothing in the United States compared to New York isn't even traffic that's just slow moving vehicles traffic is when stuff gets locked up for 10-12 hours or time you can't move that's traffic right so anyway and also the traffic there's really weird sometimes it all goes in one direction sometimes it goes in both directions sometimes it goes in the other direction and it's all the same road there's no signal to indicate otherwise so getting through that is a challenge right so eventually you you obituate you just don't pay attention to all the crap going on around you so it is response specific so the there's going to be oh my gosh all these things are gonna hit me that just eventually decrease it's like all right so I'm gonna have somebody hits me somebody hits me I'm just gonna cruise across the street that's what you do so so habituation is not sensory adaptation it is not fatigue so keep that in mind and it's it's it's relatively temporary too so that's spontaneous recovery stuff and we'll come back and talk about more of that later and we will see you soon
