This article reports the context specificity of habituation in earthworms (Lumbricidae family). Using earthworms as subjects-which are typically sensitive to odors-the present study sought to evaluate the context specificity of habituation by giving subjects repeated exposures to a bright light in one odorous context, after which they were presented again with the same stimulus in a different context. The recovery of responding in this second context was higher in the group where the odor of this context was different, in comparison with a control group for which the context was the same. To provide further support for these findings, a second experiment was run using a within-subject design where all subjects were trained in both of the conditions. In this case, in addition to the light, vibration was used as a second stimulus. The subjects again displayed a higher increase in responding in the condition where the context was different (in odor) in comparison with the case in which the context was the same, thus replicating the results obtained in the first experiment. We discuss the implications of these results in the light of current data and learning theories. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

习性的背景特异性。

本文报告了（Lumbricidae家族）中的习惯化的背景特异性。使用study作为对象-通常对气味敏感-本研究试图通过使对象在一种有气味的环境中反复暴露于强光下来评估习惯化的环境特异性，然后在不同的环境中再次以相同的刺激对它们进行呈现上下文。与上下文相同的对照组相比，在该第二种情况下，在该第二种情况下的反应的恢复在该背景下的气味不同的组中更高。为了为这些发现提供进一步的支持，使用受试者内部设计进行了第二项实验，其中所有受试者都在两种情况下接受了培训。在这种情况下，除了光之外，还使用振动作为第二刺激。与情境相同的情况相比，在情境不同（有气味）的情况下，受试者再次表现出更高的反应增强，从而复制了在第一个实验中获得的结果。我们根据当前数据和学习理论讨论这些结果的含义。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
