Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Operant stimulus discrimination is the process of learning to differentiate between similar stimuli and responding differently to them based on the outcomes of those responses. This process is likely involved in learning to recognize different automobile brands, animals, types of music, and even the answers on psychology tests. Respondent conditioning, systematic desensitization, and primary positive reinforcements may play a role in other types of learning, but they are not as directly relevant to the examples given in the question.
