Simple Stimulus Learning In the following analysis of various forms of simple stimulus learning‚ the concept of habituation‚ including many examples will be studied and explained. Three factors that affect perceptual learning will be analyzed. Those factors include presenting contrasting stimuli‚ transfer from easy to difficult stimuli‚ and attention and feedback. The following effects of stimulus exposure will be examined: Preference for familiar stimuli‚ priming facilitation‚ and potentiated

For the first part we needed to observe the motion or oscillation of a spring in order to find k‚ the spring constant; which is commonly described as how stiff the spring is. Using the equation Fs=-kx or‚ Fs=mg=kx; where Fs is the force of the spring‚ mg represents mass times gravity‚ and kx is the spring constant
