Wendell always gets anxious before taking a math test because he is not good with numbers and formulae. When his science teacher
announces a physics test that requires him to apply numerical formulae, Wendell begins to feel anxious, even though he enjoys physics. What is Wendall most likely demonstrating in this scenario?A. positive reinforcement in operant conditioningB. generalization in classical conditioningC. discrimination in classical conditioningD. negative reinforcement in operant conditioning
Wendell always gets anxious before taking a math test because he is not good in this subject.
Because of this reason he gets anxious while performing the physics numerical also.
This condition is known as generalization in classical conditioning, in which the persons develops a fear against conditioned stimulus and this response gets evoked by the similar objects or situations.
