Analyze the scenario

Using the Stimulus Generalization knowledge point

• Kerry is conditioned to fear a specific conditioned stimulus (strawberries).
• Raspberries are physically and conceptually similar to strawberries.
• She exhibits the conditioned response (fear) to the similar, novel stimulus (raspberries) without direct conditioning.

Evaluate the options

• Stimulus generalization: Occurs when an organism responds to stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimulus. This matches the scenario perfectly.
• Stimulus extinction: The gradual weakening and disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus.
• Stimulus discrimination: The ability to differentiate between a conditioned stimulus and other, similar stimuli that have not been paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
• Taste aversion: An active avoidance of a particular food/flavor after becoming ill after consuming it.
