CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Generalization refers to the tendency to respond to stimuli that resemble the original conditioned stimulus. The ability to generalize has important evolutionary significance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stimulus generalization is the ability to behave in a new situation in a way that has been learned in other similar situations. The problem is how to learn which aspects of the learning situations should be generalized.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stimulus generalization: The tendency to respond to another stimulus that is similar but not identical to the original conditioned stimulus. Stimulus discrimination: The ability to distinguish between similar but non-identical stimuli.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stimulus generalization can occur in operant and classical conditioning. It occurs in classical conditioning when someone responds to stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimulus. It occurs in operant conditioning when a learned behavior is applied to another similar context.
