B)overshadowing
C)peak-shift
D)equivalence training

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peak-shift occurs when the greatest level of instrumental performance occurs in response to a novel stimulus that is similar to the original stimulus used for training. This demonstrates that learning is specific to the features of the original stimulus and can be disrupted in the presence of a new or different stimulus. The blocking effect and overshadowing refer to phenomena where the learning of one stimulus can interfere with or overshadow the learning of another, while equivalence training is a method used to establish functional equivalences between stimuli or behaviors.
