Habituation refers to the gradual decline in strength of a response to some stimulus that has become familiar. Sensitization, on the other hand, refers to an increase in responsiveness due to repeated exposure to a stimulus. Assimilation and accommodation are terms used in the study of cognitive development, specifically in the work of Jean Piaget.
