Ohman's (1979) theory of the orienting response has adopted an information-processing approach and argues that central processing capacity is required for the development of habituation. It is further stated in this theory that the orienting response signifies a 'call' for central processing to commence rather then being an indication that central mechanisms are actively processing the evoking stimulus. Thus, the orienting response is associated with the pre-attentive stages of information processing. A number of predictions which were derived from these conceptualisations have been tested. First, it was predicted that habituation to a repeated non-signal stimulus will be delayed when processing capacity is utilised for the performance of a...
