Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Goal-directed behavior can show habituation and sensitization effects. Habituating to a behavior can result in a decrease in the response to that behavior, while sensitization can result in an increased response to the same behavior. Both can affect goal-directed behavior by altering the likelihood of engaging in or repeating the behavior depending on its outcome.
