Answer:

Cold habituation.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the exercise briefly explains, cold habituation is a response to repeated cold exposure, often to the hands and face, in which skin vasoconstrictor and shivering responses are blunted. As a response, this can increase or decrease in different people. For example, if a person enters really cold water every day, his or her stressors will adapt and their response to the cold will decrease, making it easier. Or, if a person for the first time enters a pool of freezing water, their stressors will react as if they were pin needles. All in all, cold habituation is a response to cold exposure.
