C)stimulus generalization
D)behavior maintenance

Question

Behavioral momentum refers to the greater persistence of behavior under certain conditions of high response rate or high reinforcement density. The more reinforcement that occurs in a given situation, the more momentum the behavior has and the more resistant it will be to disruption. Response generalization refers to the tendency of the same response to occur in the presence of similar, but not identical, stimuli. Stimulus generalization refers to the tendency of different responses to occur in the presence of similar, but not identical, stimuli. Behavior maintenance refers to the continued occurrence of behavior over time.
