Answer 1

Answer:

discrimination

Explanation:

When a person is able to distinguish between stimuli it is known as discrimination. The opposite condition is called generalization.

Here, Alicia is able to distinguish between a spider and spider in a photograph. This means that she is able to discriminate between the stimuli.

If she would get scared by the photograph of a spider then this situation would be generalization.

Hence, the statement here is referring to discrimination.
