Stimulus generalization occurs when a response that was initially elicited by one stimulus is also generated by a similar, but not identical, stimulus. This is different from stimulus discrimination, where the response is only elicited by the specific stimulus and not others that are similar. Selective comprehension and retention refer to the process by which individuals selectively attend to and remember information, while routine response behavior refers to automatic and habitual actions.
