Habituation

We are often unable to perceive the impacts of IAS on our lives. Inability to perceive the IAS-related negative impacts can be due to the process of habituation which refers to the process of being accustomed to events due to prolonged exposure. Many IAS have been around our lives for many decades, some of which may even have been naturalized into our surrounding environments. Therefore, we may have become accustomed to the presence of IAS that we are often unaware of its presence.
