Neuroscientific investigations: Brain imaging and recording (with introspection or task performance)
Lesion studies: malfunctioning of the brain/mind
Modeling: Computer simulations of human performance
Comparative: Performance comparison across age groups and species

Adaptation
Being unresponsive to stimulation
A response that is learned and my be hard to unlearn
A "getting used to it" response
Learning that a response is not needed or is redundant
Basically a habit
An orienting response - increased heart rate, head turn towards stimulus, attending to stimulus by organism
An orienting response - decreased heart rate, head turn towards stimulus, attending to stimulus by organism
An orienting response - decreased heart rate, head turn away from stimulus, attending to stimulus by organism
A Conditioned Response (CR)
An Unconditioned Response (UR)
Attenuation has taken place
Moderation has taken place
Habituation has taken place
Mediation has taken place
Orientation has taken place
Allows an organism to learn that a stimulus is not significant, and therefore doesn’t have to be distracted by petty events
Is the simplest form of learning
Is adaptive
Is observable in nearly every animal, even slugs and snails
Is the simplest form of associative learning
Internal states
The organism
Environmental demands
Experimenter's cognition
All of the above
Habituation
Fatigue or Changes due to physiological or motivational state
Innate response tendencies (reflexes, instincts)
Maturation (regular stages, unaffected by practice)
None of these
There is a change (may be invisible - thus the “behaviour potential”)
Change is lasting
Experience and practice effects
Learning situation is important
Response may be ambiguous
