Document Summary
Generalization gradients generalization gradient: a graphic representation of generalization in which the x-axis plots some dimension along which the test stimuli are varied and the y axis shows the strength of conditioned responding to the different stimuli. Pavlov"s answer was that generalization is an automatic by-product of the conditioning process he believed that generalization is an inherent property of the nervous system cannot be so easily dismissed ; generalization gradients are innate. How experience affects the shape of generalization gradients. 2 groups of pigeons, vi schedule 1000hz tone. 3 pigeons received non differential training: every trial was the same- the key light was lit, the 1000hz was on, vi schedule. 5 other pigeons received presence-absence training, which included. How sensory deprivation affects the shape of generalization. Gradients necessary to prevent the possibility of discrimination learning along the dimension in question from the moment a subject is born.
