What is stimulus generalization?
The tendency for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to evoke similar responses.
What is response generalization?
The tendency to respond to a stimulus with a variety of responses that are similar to what was learned.
Example of stimulus generalization.
A dog trained to sit when it hears a bell might also sit when it hears a doorbell.
Example of response generalization.
A dog that learned to shake hands might also offer its paw or roll over when greeting someone.
Difference between stimulus and response generalization.
Stimulus generalization involves similar stimuli invoking responses, while response generalization involves a variety of responses to the same stimulus.
What is an unconditioned stimulus?
A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response without prior learning.
What is a conditioned stimulus?
A previously neutral stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus, triggers a conditioned response.
What is a conditioned response?
A learned response to a previously neutral stimulus that has become associated with an unconditioned stimulus.
Role of reinforcement in generalization.
Reinforcement can strengthen both stimulus and response generalization, leading to a wider range of reactions to stimuli.
Practical application of stimulus generalization.
Used in marketing where similar products elicit similar consumer responses due to prior experiences.
