A generalization is likely correct when it is supported by a large sample size or a diverse range of examples. Additionally, if the generalization can be logically explained and is consistent with existing knowledge or trends, it is more likely to be correct. Testing the generalization through experimentation or further research can also help validate its accuracy.

What do you call the tendency to respond to a stimulus that is similar but not identical to a conditioned stimulus?
Generalization is the tendency to respond to a stimulus that is similar but not identical to a conditioned stimulus.
When a dog has been classically conditioned to salivate in response to the sound of middle c on a piano and then salivates when someone plays the d by mistake has occurred?
This is an example of generalization in classical conditioning. The dog has associated the sound of middle C with food (conditioned stimulus) and now also responds similarly to a slightly different sound (generalization).
What are the 5 conditioning processes identified by Pavlov?
Pavlov identified the five conditioning processes as acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, generalization, and discrimination. These processes describe how learned behaviors are acquired, maintained, and may change over time.
What process allows a second stimulus to cause the same response as the originally conditioned stimulus?
The process that allows a second stimulus to cause the same response as the originally conditioned stimulus is called stimulus generalization. This occurs when similar stimuli to the conditioned stimulus also trigger the conditioned response.
What is the occurrence of a learned response to stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus is called stimulus?
Generalization. It refers to the tendency for a learned response to a specific stimulus to occur in the presence of other stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus.
