Stimulus generalization involves transferring a learned response from one stimulus to another, similar stimulus. It's a type of learning where a new situation is perceived as identical to a previously encountered situation.
congrats on reading the definition of Stimulus Generalization. now let's actually learn it.
The ability to differentiate between stimuli that are similar but not identical. For example, recognizing that not all dogs will bite just because one did.
This is something that initially does not trigger any particular response until it becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus through conditioning.
