Yes.

A thermistor is just a resistor really, they all alter their resistance with temperature it is just that the particular feature is concentrated on in the design to make it vary more, same ability with thermocouples.

In thermistors the resistance normally lowers as temperature increases, those type are called NTC, negative temperature coefficient. You can also get PTCs if you need them. As far as I know all 3d printer hardware uses NTC types. Don't quote me on that.
