Stimulus discrimination refers to the ability to distinguish between similar stimuli and respond differently to those stimuli. In this case, the children are able to discriminate between the different voice tones of adults associated with punishment versus praise or affection. Spontaneous recovery refers to the reappearance of a previously extinguished response, while stimulus generalization refers to the tendency for a response to occur to stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus. Latent learning refers to learning that occurs without any apparent reinforcement, but is not relevant to this scenario.
