Generalization is defined as (1) the formation of broad propositions derived from individual facts (2) the transfer of the response from one type of stimuli to similar stimuli. (3) the tendency to respond to stimuli similar to the one used in the initial conditioning . (4) the process whereby a behavior occurs in the presence of a novel stimulus. A novel stimulus is any stimulus in whose presence the person’s behavior has not been reinforced. Usually, the novel stimulus is similar to the SD in a discrimination training procedure.
