Question

Question 55 Jack uses classical conditioning to teach his dog Luna to sit whenever Jack says “Sit.” But now, anything that Jack says that is similar to “Sit” causes Luna to show the conditioned response of sitting. This is most likely the result of stimulus generalization. stimulus discrimination. extinction. second-order conditioning.

Answer 1

Stimulus generalization.

Explanation: In classical conditioning, stimulus generalization occurs when stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus (here, sounds like “Sit”) also elicit the conditioned response (sitting). Discrimination would be responding only to the exact stimulus; extinction is the weakening of the response when the CS is no longer paired with the US; second‑order conditioning uses a conditioned stimulus to condition a new stimulus.
