When does stimulus generalization occur?

A) When an organism responds to a range of stimuli that are similar to the original CS
B) When an organism produces several slightly different responses to the same CS
C) When an organism responds only to a particular CS
D) When an organism responds to second-order conditioning

Stimulus Generalization

The tendency for the conditioned response to be evoked by stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus.

Original CS

A term not clearly defined in this context, possibly referring to an original condition stimulus in classical conditioning experiments. If it's related to computer science (often abbreviated as CS), it could mean the foundational or initial concepts in the field.

Range Of Stimuli

The variety or spectrum of physical or psychological stimuli that an organism can detect or respond to.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Stimulus generalization occurs when an organism responds to a range of stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimulus (CS). For example, if a dog has been conditioned to salivate at the sound of a bell, it may also salivate at similar sounds, such as a buzzer or a chime.
