Answer:

generalization                                                                              

Explanation:

Generalization: In psychology, the term generalization refers to the propensity of an individual or animal to respond similarly to distinct yet familiar stimuli.

The term has been widely used in the theory of classical and operant conditioning. It is often considered as important for various psychologists in terms of finding results related to a particular population.

Example: A boy went to the dentist who was wearing a white coat, he feels pain and cried while removing his teeth by the doctor, so now whenever he sees anyone wearing a white coat he cries.

In the question above, Anne's behavior can be best described as generalization.
