again at the start of the next session.
People who live in a city have no trouble sleeping through all of the street noise.

sensitization response only.
stronger habituation response than sensitization response.
Question 3
The hippocampus:
has not received much attention in learning and memory research.
lies just beneath the temporal lobe in primates.
is much larger in birds than in rodents.
