In an animal study, a rat is placed in a chamber where a brief light turns on for 1 second every 15 seconds. The rat initially orients toward the light, but over repeated presentations the orienting response declines. The experimenter then presents a single, different stimulus (a brief tone) and immediately returns to the light presentations. Data summary (orienting responses out of 5 trials):
- Light trials 1–5: 5/5
- Light trials 6–10: 2/5
- After tone, light trials 11–15: 4/5
Which pattern is most consistent with dishabituation of the orienting response to the light?
