Final Answer :
Habituation: Decreased responsiveness with repeated exposures to a stimulus.Declines with experience.The weaker the stimulus the more rapid the habituation.Depends upon specific characteristics of the stimulus.Sensitization: Increase responsiveness to an environmental stimulus.Properties of the stimulus do not affect sensitization.Sensitization is lost rapidly after the sensitizing event ends--is always temporary.
