Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stimulus discrimination is the ability to differentiate between similar stimuli and respond differently to them. The opposite of this is stimulus generalization, where an organism responds the same way to different stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus. Therefore, choice C (stimulus generalization) is the correct answer. The other options (stimulus acceptance, delay of inhibition, and spontaneous recovery) do not relate to the opposite of stimulus discrimination.
