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

The restoration of a response to a stimulus by changing the stimulus or by presenting a novel stimulus.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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