Relational processing involves connecting new information to existing knowledge or experiences, and this is what Jim is doing by linking the concepts from his Women's Studies class to his communications textbook. Discriminative processing involves distinguishing between stimuli, generalized processing involves responding to a group of stimuli without differentiation, and acoustic processing involves processing the sound of a stimulus. None of these accurately describe Jim's thought process.
