Questions: Question 39 June had dinner at an Indian restaurant and had food poisoning as a result. This causes her to gag at the sight of any Indian food. June's reaction to Indian food best illustrates the concept of in classical conditioning. discrimination generalization preparedness renewal Next

The answer is the second one: generalization.

Explanation for each option:

1. Discrimination: This refers to the ability to distinguish between different stimuli and respond differently based on those distinctions. In this context, if June were able to eat some Indian foods without gagging while avoiding others, it would illustrate discrimination. However, since she gags at the sight of any Indian food, this is not the correct concept.

2. Generalization: This occurs when a conditioned response is elicited by stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimulus. In June's case, her reaction to all Indian food, not just the specific dish that caused the food poisoning, is an example of generalization. Therefore, this is the correct answer.

3. Preparedness: This concept refers to the idea that certain associations are learned more readily than others due to evolutionary factors. While it might explain why some people develop aversions to certain foods more easily, it does not specifically describe June's reaction to all Indian food.

4. Renewal: This refers to the reappearance of a conditioned response when an organism is placed in a different context after extinction. Since June's reaction is not about the reappearance of a response in a new context, this is not the correct concept.

In summary, June's reaction to Indian food best illustrates the concept of generalization in classical conditioning.
