Question

1.What is the difference between stimulus generalization and stimulus discrimination? Give an example of each.

Answer 1

Stimulus generalization	Stimulus discrimination
It is defined as a procedure of reinforcing a response in the presence of a stimulus or situation and the result that the response becomes more probable not only in that situation but also in the presence of another stimulus or situation.	A stimulus discrimination is when the participant can discriminate between stimulus ad therefore weaken the effect of the stimulus on the required response.
Example: when a child who doesn’t like milk would generalize and not eat any milk product.	Example: when a person knows how to dress differently for different occasions
