In the dual-process theory of non-associative learning, there are four factors that determine whether an individual will become habituated or sensitized to a certain stimulus: - Level of arousal - Existing sensitivity to the stimulus - Cognitive capacity - Previous exposure to the stimulus

Now let's analyze each option and see if it aligns with the factors mentioned in the dual-process theory: a) Level of arousal: This factor is mentioned in the dual-process theory, so it is a relevant factor. b) Existing sensitivity to the stimulus: This factor is explicitly mentioned in the dual-process theory, so it is a relevant factor. c) Cognitive capacity: Although cognitive processes can influence learning, the dual-process theory does not specifically mention cognitive capacity as a factor. d) Previous exposure to the stimulus: This factor is not explicitly mentioned in the dual-process theory. However, it could be an indirect factor, as previous exposure might influence the level of arousal or existing sensitivity.

Based on the analysis, the correct answer is: a) Level of arousal
