In a classroom, a teacher plays a short notification chime (1 s) before starting group work each day. On the first day, students stop talking immediately when the chime sounds. After several weeks, students show little change in behavior when the chime plays and continue talking. One day, the fire alarm sounds unexpectedly during class. Later that same period, the teacher plays the usual chime and students abruptly stop talking, but over the next days they again ignore the chime. Based on this pattern, which response is most consistent with habituation and dishabituation rather than sensitization?
