What is the difference between stimulus generalization and stimulus discrimination?
A stimulus is an action or procedure used to gain a suitable response.A stimulus generalisation is when the stimulus can be generalised to a similar stimulus and still gain the same response.Example, A bell rings at a certain tone and a dog salivates, if the bell rang at a higher or lower tone the dog may still salivate. SO therefore have a generalised stimulus.A stimulus discrimination is when the participant can discriminate between stimulus ad therefore weaken the effect of the stimulus on the required response.Example, A dog is given increasingly different sounding bells from the original meaning the stimulus will have a decreased effect and eventually will not the response at all.
How are generalization and discrimination related to classical conditioning?
Generalization occurs when an animal responds to a second stimulus similar to the original BS without prior training with the second stimulus. Discrimination is the ability to respond differently to different stimuli.These two processes are related to classical conditioning because associations are being made between a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus, thus, allowing the subjects to learn.
