Zusammenfassung
Two experiments with human subjects were carried out in order to verify the role that contextual clues play in long term habituation, according to Wagner�s (1976, 1978) model. Experiment I, employing a 105 dbs. tone of sudden onset and 24 hours separation between sessions, showed that contextual change produced faster rehabituation and a trend to less response recovery in the second session. Experiment II, employing a 80 dbs., tone of gradual onset with 48 hours between sessions, showed that contextual change produced less response recovery and a trend to faster rehabituation. �Informative� vs �normal� instructions did not produce any effect on habituation. These results are considered as contrary to Wagner�s model (1976, 1978) and in accordance with an attentional interpretation of habituation
