Question

Which of the following is true of generalization in classical conditioning? Multiple Choice It is the tendency of a new stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus to elicit a response that is similar to the conditioned response It is the tendency of a subject to become more powerfully attracted to the conditioned stimulus than to the unconditioned stimulus it signals. It is the process by which a stimulus or event following a particular behavior increases the probability that the behavior will happen again. It is the process by which a conditioned response can recur after a time delay, without further conditioning.

Answer 1

Answer:

It is the tendency of a new stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus to elicit a response that is similar to the conditioned response.            

Explanation:

Stimulus generalization: In classical conditioning, the term stimulus generalization refers to the propensity of the conditioned stimulus to give rise to the same responses once the response is being conditioned.

In other words, stimulus generalization arises when an organism (human being, animals, etc) responds to a particular stimulus, the way it responds to a similar or same stimulus.
