Dishabituation is the recovery of a previously habituated response to a stimulus after a change in the stimulus. In this scenario, the baby no longer reacts to the high-pitched tone, but when a new low-pitched tone is presented, the baby stops sucking, indicating recovery of the response, which is an example of dishabituation. Disinhibition refers to increased responsiveness to a stimulus due to the removal of an inhibitory influence. Nonadaptation is not a recognized term in classical conditioning. The cessation of sucking caused by the new tone is a conditioned response because it has been learned as a result of the pairing of the tone with the absence of food.
