Habituation of Vestibular Responses with and without Visual Stimulation

Abstract

In vestibular physiology, the term “habituation” is frequently used interchangeably with “response reduction” to indicate the effects of repeated stimulation. This phenomenon differs from “fatigue,” a temporary state for which brief intervals of rest are usually sufficient for recovery of the response, and from “adaptation,” a special type of response decline—one which occurs during a prolonged stimulus. More specifically, “habituation” refers to a relatively long-lasting change; even extended rest periods (48 hours to several weeks) may not be sufficient to restore the response to its original level or form.
