Elastic shrinks when exposed to high temperatures, causing the molecular structure of the material to contract. Additionally, repeated stretching and washing can also lead to the loss of elasticity in the fibers, causing them to shrink over time.

Rubber is unusual in that it shrinks when heated warming a rubber ball would?

Rubber's unique property is due to its elastic nature. When heated, the molecules in rubber become more active and move closer together, causing the rubber to contract or shrink. This is why heating a rubber ball would make it shrink instead of expanding like most materials.
