What this claim means

When people are exploring something new, they're more drawn to novel things at first, but the appeal of 'newness' fades the more they're exposed to it.

See the technical phrasing

Perceptual novelty has a diminishing influence on exploratory choices over time, with its effect significantly decreasing as exposure increases, as evidenced by a significant interaction with time (z = −4.12, β = −0.49, p < .001, OR = 0.61), indicating a stronger impact of novelty on decision-making during early stages of exploration.
