Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of generalization because the person's allergy has generalized from real flowers to plastic flowers, which share some visual similarities. Operant conditioning involves learning through consequences, observational learning involves learning by observing others, and spontaneous recovery involves the temporary return of an extinguished behavior. None of these processes are directly relevant to the allergy attack triggered by the sight of plastic flowers.
