Psyb45 lecture 19: stimulus generalization, physical similarity. eg two dogs but one"s a beagle and one"s a terrier, so basically the same but still some physical differences. so when teaching a child words they"ll probably use dog for both because they are so similar: stimuli in common-element class. pretty good degree of similarity physically but not so much. eg child will take some time figuring out they are both dogs: stimuli in equivalence-class. learn to respond the same way to completely different objects. eg banana, chocolate, sandwich, orange are all fully different but they are all classified as food: generality of behaviour change, eg teaching children about abduction lures.
