Generalization occurs when a person responds to similar stimuli in the same way. In this case, the person developed a taste aversion to shellfish and showed aversion to other seafood as well, which indicates generalization. Discrimination occurs when a person responds differently to similar stimuli, which is not the case here. Spontaneous recovery refers to the reappearance of an extinguished response, which is not relevant to this scenario. Conditioned inhibition occurs when a conditioned stimulus signals the absence of an unconditioned stimulus, which is also not applicable here.
