Glen is attempting to use operant conditioning to train his dog, Thor, to fetch a ball upon command. To test Thor’s understanding, Glen throws the ball and yells, “Pineapple!” Thor does not fetch the ball. Which process of operant conditioning has Thor demonstrated?

Thor demonstrated a stimulus generalization for its operant conditioning. Stimulus generalization occurs when there are repeated stimuli resulting to similar responses. In the situation, the operant conditioning gave a stimulus for Thor to respond on the same way but when Glen yells "Pineapple!" then his dog did not respond because it is not the same as the previous stimulus.

Glen throws the ball and yells, “Pineapple!” Thor does not fetch the ball.

Here, the process of operant conditioning that Thor has demonstrated is- stimuli discrimination.

A stimuli or stimulus discrimination is a behavior which results in one consequence in a particular setting and another consequence in other settings.
