Abstract:
The aim of this study is to verify whether, as several authors indicate, response generalizatian is weak wilh respect to signal generalization. We chose identical structures for signal and response, these being on a dimension of relative spatial position. We estimated the effect of generalization in the two cases, beginning with the frequency of different errors observed in the course of learning a multiple-choice task resembling a spatial labyrinth. Under these conditions, it seems that response generalization is at least as important as signal generalization. It is believed therefore, that if the generalization of the response drew much less attention than that of the signal, it is because researchers generally adopted a weaker similarity scale for the responses than for the signals.
