Response generalization occurs when a learner emits varied forms of behavior that all produce the same effect or outcome in the presence of the same stimulus or context In this scenario the stimulus condition remains constant Holly needs to send her bosss daily schedule Her initial learned response was texting the schedule However when that specific response was unavailable she effectively demonstrated a different topographically distinct response emailing the schedule that served the identical function of delivering the schedule to her boss This adaptation highlights response generalization the behaviors form is flexible but its function remains consistent under the same stimulus control Stimulus generalization conversely involves performing the same response in the presence of different but similar stimuli Maintenance refers to the continued performance of a learned behavior over time after an intervention has been withdrawn Stimulus equivalence describes the emergence of accurate responding to untrained and unreinforced stimulusstimulus relationships eg reflexivity symmetry transitivity which is not depicted here
