Question

When slight differences in the form of conditioned stimuli still produce the same conditioned response, the learning phenomenon of ____________ is occurring, whereas, the ability to respond with an appropriate conditioned response to a conditioned stimulus and with no response to a very similar yet substantially different stimulus is known as___________. Group of answer choices second-order conditioning; discrimination generalization; second-order conditioning firs-order conditioning; second-order conditioning generalization; discrimination

Answer 1

Answer:

When slight differences in the form of conditioned stimuli still produce the same conditioned response, the learning phenomenon of conditioning generalization is occurring, whereas, the ability to respond with an appropriate conditioned response to a conditioned stimulus and with no response to a very similar yet substantially different stimulus is known as discrimination. (letter D)

Explanation:

In classical conditioning, a conditioned stimulus can be defined as a neutral stimulus that has become associated with an unconditioned stimulus and, eventually, begins to trigger a conditioned response. When people or animals do not possess the ability to distinguish between slightly different stimuli, responding to them with the same response, conditioning generalization is occurring. On the other hand, discrimination occurs when they are able to tell the difference, not responding to different stimuli with the same response.
