Which type of experience must a subject go through in classical conditioning before it can display stimulus generalization?

A) acquisition
B) spontaneous recovery
C) extinction
D) discrimination

Acquisition

The phase during learning when a response is established and gradually strengthened.

Classical Conditioning

An associative learning process where two stimuli are constantly paired together; the second stimulus initially causes a response which in time is caused by the first stimulus alone.

Stimulus Generalization

The process by which a response that has been learned to one stimulus is also elicited by similar, but not identical, stimuli.
