Habituation: the psychological process by which repeated exposure to a stimulus decreases the neural response and perceptual awareness to that stimulus, resulting in the loss of cuing power of environmental nudges over time
Why This Is a Definition

It connects directly to the curriculum's focus on choice architecture and environmental design.
