Example: "The study revealed a decline in sensitivity among participants after prolonged exposure to the stimulus."
Alternatives: "a decrease in sensitivity" or "a reduction in sensitivity".
Loss of accuracy in tasks involving complex visual information can result from either a decline in sensitivity or a change in response bias [36]; with a decline in d' we can infer a loss of sensitivity.
Thus, a decline in sensitivity from 79%to64%4% [ 17] and from 79%to13%3% [ 5] were seen when additional information about diagnosis was required.

The weaker signal modules (M4 M7) show a high level of specificity but a decline in sensitivity starting at 20% noise.
As might be expected, the overall number of episodes that were positive for any species declined; there was only marginal improvement in sensitivity for mailed specimens (Table 2) and, conversely, a decline in sensitivity for S. aureus.

Sphingomyelin is also among the candidate molecules likely involved in pathomechanisms relevant for a decline in insulin sensitivity, since the breakdown of sphingomyelin leads to the generation of ceramide which is a potent signaling molecule well known to mediate insulin resistance [39] [41].
Further, subjects who have high serum chromium levels paradoxically had a decline in insulin sensitivity.
