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

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

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

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

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

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.

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