What are examples of habituation with babies?

Habituation in babies can be observed when they become less responsive to a repeated stimulus over time. For instance, if a baby hears a particular sound, like a bell ringing, they may initially show surprise or interest, but after hearing it multiple times, their reaction diminishes. Another example is when a baby is shown the same toy repeatedly; their attention will wane as they become familiar with it. This process helps infants learn to distinguish between new and familiar stimuli in their environment.
