A change in behavioral response that occurs over time in response to a single type of stimulus without association with a positive or negative reinforcement.

Habituation to one stimulus that can lead to a decrease in response to a different but related stimulus.

A decrease in response to a stimulus after repeated presentations, typically for a non-threatening stimulus.

A theory suggesting that habituation and sensitization are not mutually exclusive and can occur simultaneously, modulated by different neural processes.

A theory that explains habituation and sensitization through the counterbalancing of opposing processes in the nervous system.

A gradual reduction in the strength or frequency of a response after repeated stimulus presentations.

The reappearance of a habituated response after a period of no stimulus exposure.

A long-lasting decrease in response that can persist for weeks or longer following repeated exposure to a stimulus.

The principle that the habituation or sensitization response is often specific to the stimulus that was repeatedly presented.

The intensity level at which a stimulus is strong enough to produce a noticeable response in an animal.

The tendency to respond in the same way to different but similar stimuli after habituation or sensitization has occurred.

A phenomenon in which a weaker 'prepulse' inhibits the reaction to a subsequent stronger pulse, often used to measure sensory-motor gating.

A temporary reduction in response that recovers after some time without stimulus exposure.

An increased reaction to a stimulus following a strong or noxious stimulus.
