Under which condition would we expect the skin conductance response to reveal sensitization?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensitization occurs when a previously neutral stimulus becomes associated with a strong emotional or physiological response due to its pairing with an aversive or arousing stimulus. Playing a loud noise right before a neutral musical tone would likely induce an emotional or physiological response, leading to sensitization. Playing a quiet noise or a neutral musical tone repeatedly would not elicit a strong emotional or physiological response, and playing a loud noise repeatedly could lead to habituation rather than sensitization.
