Habituation is the process by which an organism reduces its responses to an unchanging, harmless source of information. Instinctive behavior refers to innate behaviors that are genetically determined. Sensitization is the opposite of habituation; it occurs when responses to a stimulus increase over time. Classical conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with a significant stimulus to elicit a response.
