Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the Guttman & Kalish (1956) generalization experiment, the pigeons were trained to peck a key in the presence of a specific color. During the generalization phase, they were presented with colors that varied in similarity to the training color. The results showed that the pigeons pecked the key more frequently in the presence of colors that were more similar to the training color, indicating a gradient of generalization. Therefore, the correct answer is A, more.
