PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

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: 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-3: -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-4: -Discrimination is the ability to differentiate between similar stimuli. Generalization occurs when the conditioned response occurs even when the conditioned stimulus is slightly different from the original CS.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The tendency for a stimulus similar to the original conditioned one to elicit a response similar to the conditioned response is called stimulus generalization.
