Stimulus generalization is when the CS in the experiment is generalized onto other similar stimuli after the target behavior has been in place. For example, the conditioned behavior to fear white bunny rabbits may generalize onto the subject fearing white cotton balls and furry White House slippers.

Stimulus Generalization-
What are the 5 conditioning processes identified by Pavlov?
acquisition, extinction, stimulus discrimination and stimulus generalization
What process allows a second stimulus to cause the same response as the originality conditioned stimulus?
generalization.
What process allows a second stimulus to cause the same response as the originally conditioned stimulus?
generalization.
Who demonstrated the theory of stimulus generalization?
John B. Watson
What is the occurrence of a learned response to stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus is called stimulus?
Stimulus Generalization. For Example: A child that has been attacked by a dog becomes frightened by small animals.
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.

What is generalizing response?
Also called stimulus generalization. the act or process of responding to a stimulus similar to but distinct from the conditioned stimulus.Also called response generalization. the act or process of making a different but similar response to the same stimulus.Also called mediated generalization. the act or process of responding to a stimulus not physically similar to the conditioned stimulus and not previously encountered in conditioning.(fosfatidilserina)the act or process of perceiving similarity or relation between different stimuli, as between words, colors, sounds, lights, concepts or feelings; the formation of a general notion.
What is differences of response generalization and stimulus generalization?
Generalization refers to the spread of effects (perhaps from a treatment, or intervention). Stimulus generalization occurs when the same response occurs but under a different, setting, condition, or for a different therapist or parent perhaps (i.e., different stimuli). Response generalization occurs when the individual emits a different response which serves the same function as previously reinforced responses, the setting (i.e., stimulus) remains unaltered. For instance a friend might teach you how to do the Konami code (up, up, down, down, left, right, left right, b, a, start) on an old Nintendo controller. Later you perform the code on the same game (same stimulus conditions) but using joystick controller.
