Does the ECU adapt to driving habits?

Might be a daft question but when I drive my parents Merc/Lexus, they always complain that the the automatic transmission feels different. It adapts to how I drive and wonder if 350Z does the same and if there is a reset procedure for it? Or is it only an automatic transmission thing. I do notice that the throttle is more responsive after a spirited drive or maybe it's all in the mind.

A lot of the new intelligent auto boxes can constantly vary the drive according to how you use the throttle, but the Z ECU is pretty basic in that it just retains short term fuel trim and timing information until reset...and then it starts again, however this will not result in any performance gains or adapting to mods as some think.
