Understand the key terms in classical conditioning: the conditioned stimulus (CS) is a previously neutral stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (US), elicits a conditioned response (CR).
Recognize that stimulus generalization occurs when stimuli that are similar, but not identical, to the original CS also elicit the CR.
Differentiate stimulus generalization from stimulus discrimination, where the organism learns to respond only to the specific CS and not to similar stimuli.
Note that spontaneous recovery refers to the reappearance of a previously extinguished CR after a rest period, and extinction is the weakening of the CR when the CS is repeatedly presented without the US.
Conclude that the term describing learning where similar stimuli produce the CR is stimulus generalization.
