SOP- habituation laboratory: An interactive tool for simulating the basic behavioral features of habituation.

This paper presents an open-source online tool for introducing psychology students to the major theoretical and empirical facts of habituation. The tool was designed in a way that combines theory and data through simulated experiments. The simulations exemplify how the priming theory of Allan R.
