When exposed to env. you pay attention to, but throughout the time, there"s no need to pay attention to that, then we tend to reduce our responses to that: sensitization. Increased response due to a salient event i. e car backfire after mugging. Constantly adjusting our responses based on whether the env. cue is good or bad.

Associative (predictive relationship btw two things, the first event is neutral and the second is an intensive one: classical conditioning. Bell(us) -> drool(cr: operant conditioning/instrumental conditioning(event 1 is your response, event. They stay in box for a long time . couldn"t really figure out. Situation response (slowly trained over a course of time) Have to do it over and over again.
