In the research of Jenkins and Harrison,one group of pigeons received intradimensional training--a 1000 Hz tone was an S⁺ and a 950 Hz tone was an S-.In a generalization test along the dimension of tone frequency,this group produced
A)typical generalization gradients with peaks at 1000 Hz
B)extremely narrow generalization gradients
C)flat generalization gradients
D)no generalization to other tones

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the pigeons received intradimensional training, they were only trained to discriminate between the 1000 Hz and 950 Hz tones. Therefore, they should only be responding to these specific tones and not generalize their response to other frequencies. As a result, they would show very narrow generalization gradients, indicating a lack of response to other frequencies.
