CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Generalization: If the behavior occurs in presence of another stimulus similar to the conditioned one, this is called generalization. For example, salivation after hearing the sounds similar to bell (sometimes maybe in higher or lower tone also), is called the process of generalization.

Detailed explanation-2: -This is the case of stimuli that occasion novel responses. For example, if Sally learned to pick up a phone and talk on it with a friend, she has response generalization if she can also pick up a walkie talkie and use it to talk to a friend.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stimulus generalization occurs when an individual responds to stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimulus. For example, the dog that was conditioned to drool upon hearing a clicking noise may generalize that behavior to similar sounds, such as tapping and beeping noises.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The key difference between stimulus generalization and response generalization is that stimulus generalization occurs when multiple stimuli can generate the same response, while response generalization occurs when the same stimulus can generate multiple similar responses.
