Which of the following is true about the process of sensitization? It differs from habituation in that it is an INCREASE in responsiveness to the presentation of a stimulus due to a preceding intense stimulation event It requires conscious processing, similar to the associative learning process that occurs during operant conditioning It was best demonstrated by scaring a small, immobile child with a loud noise paired to the presentation of a fuzzy animal It is the DECREASING responsiveness to a stimulus with repeated exposure to that stimulus
