The most commonly cited descriptions of the behavioral characteristics of habituation come from two papers published almost 40 years ago (Thompson and Spencer, 1966; Groves and Thompson, 1970). In August 2007, the authors of this review, who study habituation in a wide range of species and paradigms, met to discuss their work on habituation and to revisit and refine the characteristics of habituation. This review offers a re-evaluation of the characteristics of habituation in light of these discussions. We made substantial changes to only a few of the characteristics, usually to add new information and expand upon the description rather than to substantially alter the original point.

- Habituation and sensitization: new thoughts about old ideas (2016, positive): “This is an important characteristic because, as Rankin et al. (2009) note, it is the only characteristic that ties a proximate mechanism of habituation to its ultimate benefitdhabituating to innocuous stimuli while maintaining the ability to respond to novel stimuli.”
- Behavioral biology of marine mammal deterrents: A review and prospectus (2013, background): “Habituation, however, is not ubiquitous and repeated stimulation could lead to sensitization (Groves and Thompson, 1970; Rankin et al., 2009).”
