C is interesting too, but I think D fits better.

I thought it was A at first, but now I see the point with D.
CH

Wait, how is D generalization? Seems more like just learning.
CO

Totally agree, D shows the concept perfectly!
SE

D is definitely the best example of stimulus generalization.
JO

I’m torn between D and C. D feels right since it’s about asking for help in different contexts, but C shows improvement in two areas, which might be related too.

I practiced a question like this before! I remember that generalization is when a behavior occurs in different but similar situations. D makes sense, but I wonder if C could also be related?

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about generalization being about applying learned behavior to new contexts. D seems like a good fit, but I’m not confident.
TE

I think stimulus generalization is when a response spreads to similar situations, right? So maybe it’s D with Tim asking for help from a student?

I feel pretty confident that option B is the correct answer here. Jim learned to say 'hello' to his trainer, and he's continuing to do that, which seems like a clear case of stimulus generalization to me.

Okay, let me think this through. Stimulus generalization is when a learned response is applied to a new but similar stimulus, right? So I'm leaning towards option A or D as the best examples of that.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I was thinking option D might be the best example, where Tim learned to ask for help from the teacher and then generalized that to asking a fellow student. But I could be overthinking it.
EV

This one seems pretty straightforward. I think option A is the best example of stimulus generalization, where Bonnie learned to wear coordinated outfits but then generalized that to only wearing red.

This is a good opportunity to apply the concepts we've learned about performance evaluation. I'll start by calculating the current ROI and RI, then analyze how the project impacts those metrics based on the information provided. I think I can figure this out.

Hmm, this looks tricky. I'm not sure I fully understand how to calculate the compa-ratio and market index from these numbers.

The id attribute? That doesn't sound right. I think it has to do with describing the image, but I can't recall the exact attribute name.

This is a tricky one. I want to say the answer is C, since the Yellow Book does require reporting on both the scope of internal control testing and any noteworthy accomplishments. But I'm not 100% confident, so I'll have to review the standards again before answering.
AN

Haha, I bet Ricky's reading teacher is wondering, 'What is this sorcery?!' C doesn't really make sense as an example of stimulus generalization. I'm going with B as the best option here.
ED
Edna

Definitely, it's a specific response that Jim learned to generalize.
GA
Gayla

Yeah, saying 'hello' to his trainer is a direct result of the training.
FA
Fabiola

I agree, B seems like the most clear example of stimulus generalization.
AN
Anglea

I'll have to disagree with B. Saying 'hello' is a very basic social skill, not a complex behavior that was generalized. I think D is the best example, where Tim learned to ask for help from one person and then applied that to another person.
RI
Rima

I agree with you, C does show a broader generalization. It's interesting to see different perspectives on this.
CL
Cletus
1 year ago
I see your point, but I still think C is the best example. Ricky becoming more productive in math and his reading improving shows a broader generalization.
CH
Chaya

I think D is the best example, where Tim learned to ask for help from one person and then applied that to another person.
VI
Virgie

B is the best example here. Jim learned to say 'hello' and has continued to use that behavior in different situations, which demonstrates stimulus generalization.
NO
Noel

Ricky's improvement in math and reading simultaneously is not a clear example of stimulus generalization.
ST
Stanton

Bonnie choosing only red outfits after learning to coordinate them is not an example of stimulus generalization.
JO
Jonelle
1 year ago
I agree, Jim's behavior of saying 'hello' in various situations is a clear example of stimulus generalization.
LA
Laticia
1 year ago
I think B is the best example too. Jim saying 'hello' in different situations shows stimulus generalization.
CE
Cecil

A is not the best example, as stimulus generalization is when a behavior that was learned in one situation is applied to another similar situation. Bonnie's preference for red outfits is more of a limitation in her learning, not an example of generalization.

D) Tim learned to ask for help from his teacher and now can ask a fellow student for help.
