C)habituation
D)metabolic drug inactivation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Habituation is a form of learning in which an organism decreases or ceases its responses to a stimulus after repeated presentations. Unlike Pavlovian or instrumental conditioning, habituation does not rely on the development of compensatory responses to achieve tolerance. It is a simple form of learning involving a decrease in response to a stimulus after repeated exposure, not linked to the body's compensatory mechanisms that are involved in drug tolerance through metabolic or conditioned processes.
