Simulation of habituation to simple and multiple stimuli.

abstract：:Being motivated means exerting effort toward a goal. The 'law of least work' emphasizes a preference for exerting relatively less effort. The law crosses boundaries among species and between physical and mental work. Organisms should be highly sensitive to shifts in effort-reward balance (ERB) in order to make optimal...
