Q

after conditioning, similar stimuli may trigger a response

as stimuli becomes less like the original CS, responding decreases

A

Stimulus Generalization

17
Q

The learned ability to respond differently to a variety of similar stimuli

creates more selective responsess

A

discrimination

  • celebrity endorsements
  • conditioned emotional responses
  • aversion therapy
A

examples of classical conditioning

19
Q

tendency to respond to stimuli similar to a conditioned stimulus

A

stimulus generalization
