Question

Stimulus sampling theory explains the apparent randomness in learning by suggesting that organisms do not respond to a stimulus in its entirety but rather to a sample of stimuli present at the time of learning. This means that different experiences or contexts can lead to different responses to the same stimulus, accounting for the variability observed in learning processes among humans and animals.
