1. Sensitization

   Sensitization is a non-associative learning process in which repeated administration of a stimulus results in the progressive amplification of a response. Sensitization often is characterized by an enhancement of response to a whole class of stimuli in addition to the one that is repeated. For example, repetition of a painful stimulus may make one more responsive to a loud noise.

1. sensitization

   Sensitization is a non-associative learning process whereby repeated exposure to a stimulus results in the progressive amplification of a response. It often refers to the increase in response to harmful stimuli and is often associated with pain or discomfort. In other contexts, like immunology, it refers to the process by which the body becomes more sensitive to specific substances or conditions after initial exposure. Hence, the specific definition can vary depending on the field of study.
