A habituation task is often used to test memory for infants.  In the habituation process, a stimulus is shown to the infant for a brief period, and the researcher records how much time the infant spends looking at the stimulus.  This same process is repeated again and again.  If the infant begins to lose interest in the stimulus (decreases the time looking at it), the researcher can conclude that the infant “remembers” the earlier presentations and is demonstrating habituation to an old familiar stimulus.  The data shown below represent the amount of time (in seconds) attending to the stimulus. Use SPSS to determine whether habituation occurs in this data, and write your results in APA style.
