Detailed explanation-1: -Classical conditioning is a type of learning that involves forming associations between two stimuli. In this process, discrimination is the ability to differentiate between a conditioned stimulus and other stimuli that have not been paired with an unconditioned stimulus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Discrimination is the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and other stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus. 21. Extending Pavlov’s Understanding. Pavlov and Watson considered consciousness, or mind, unfit for the scientific study of psychology.

Detailed explanation-3: -Discrimination: the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus (e.g., bell) and other stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus (e.g., telephone ringing).

Detailed explanation-4: -Stimulus discrimination occurs when the organism learns to differentiate between the CS and other similar stimuli. In second-order conditioning, a neutral stimulus becomes a CS after being paired with a previously established CS.

Detailed explanation-5: –Generalization-once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit similar response.-Discrimination-learned ability to distinguish between conditioned stimulus and stimulus that does not signal an unconditioned stimulus.
