Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cat's behavior in this experiment is stimulus control.
An example of a generalized response would be if the cat responds to red and blue light in the same way. Blocking is a classical conditioning term that refers to a situation where neutral stimulus and conditioned stimuli are presented at the same time and only conditioned stimuli causes the conditioned response. Overshadowing is a situation where two neutral stimuli are presented simultaneously but only one of them causes a conditioned response.
