Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stimulus generalization is when the response to a specific stimulus is generalized to similar stimuli. This is different from response generalization, which is when a learned response is generalized to similar stimuli. Higher-order conditioning involves associating a new neutral stimulus with an already conditioned stimulus, and modeling involves learning by observing the behavior of others.
