A sea slug learns to withdraw its gill after repeatedly being squirted by water. after repeated squirting, the withdrawal response lessens. which term would learning theorists use to describe this reaction?

Learning theorists would use habituation to describe this reaction. A animal will not respond to a stimulus as much as it did before do to repetition. Another example of habituation applies to humans and medicine, As a person continues to use the same medicine the effects will be less and less effective due to the person's body becoming used to the medicine.
