Discrimination is the ability to differentiate between a conditioned stimulus and other stimuli that are similar but do not elicit the same response. In this scenario, the cat does not get up from the sofa when it hears the sound of the blender, indicating that it has learned to discriminate between the sound of the blender and the sound of the can opener.
