"sensitization" is a correct and usable word in written English.
You can use it to refer to the process of making someone more sensitive or aware of a particular issue or idea. For example, "The organization seeks to promote global sensitization on the importance of environmental protection".
The sensitization can be chosen to locate and enhance the sensitivity peaks.
Sensitization, by contrast, refers to an increase in the probability that behaviour appropriate to a repeatedly presented stimulus will occur, even in response to another stimulus.
Although sensitization has often been treated as a nuisance whose effects must be controlled in studies of habituation or associative learning, it remains a process worthy of study in its own right, for the behavioral changes it produces can have significant adaptive value.
A weak stimulus, or one with little intrinsic biological significance, will show relatively rapid habituation and little or no initial sensitization.
The second point about sensitization is that it may mimic the effect of associative learning or conditioning.
Without requiring the presumably more complex neural machinery necessary to subserve associative learning, sensitization enables animals to respond to local variations in the occurrence of significant events.
Sensitization usually persists, although it may decline with old age.
Similar sensitization is observed in gases and in liquids.
For this reason, neuroticism almost always appears in modern trait models of personality, though sometimes with slightly different theoretical formulations or names (such as trait anxiety, repression-sensitization, ego-resiliency, and negative emotionality).
Rather, the farming environment seemed to prevent new sensitizations.
When a stimulus is repeated regularly, two changes occur in the reflex response sensitization and habituation.
