Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incorporating common stimuli involves using aspects of the target situation during training to promote generalization. In this case, having the student practice his speech in the room where he will be giving it to the rest of the class is using a common stimulus (the room) to help the student generalize his skills to the actual situation.
