Which of the following is NOT a part of stimulus generalization in classical conditioning?
A
Learning to differentiate between the conditioned stimulus and other stimuli
B
Responding similarly to stimuli that resemble the conditioned stimulus
C
Generalizing the conditioned response to a range of related stimuli
D
Exhibiting a conditioned response to a new stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the concept of stimulus generalization in classical conditioning. It refers to the tendency of a conditioned response to be elicited by stimuli that are similar, but not identical, to the original conditioned stimulus.
Step 2: Identify the key features of stimulus generalization, which include responding similarly to stimuli that resemble the conditioned stimulus and generalizing the conditioned response to a range of related stimuli.
Step 3: Recognize that exhibiting a conditioned response to a new stimulus similar to the original conditioned stimulus is an example of stimulus generalization.
Step 4: Understand that learning to differentiate between the conditioned stimulus and other stimuli is actually the opposite process, known as stimulus discrimination, not stimulus generalization.
Step 5: Conclude that the option describing learning to differentiate between the conditioned stimulus and other stimuli is NOT part of stimulus generalization.
