Effects that describe how a learned response spreads to similar stimuli or is narrowed to a particular one. It covers stimulus generalization, generalization gradients, stimulus discrimination and discrimination learning, which appear in both classical and operant conditioning. A phenomenon belongs here when its cited article is about responding to resemblance between stimuli or telling stimuli apart. Effects tied to one kind of conditioning, such as conditioned taste aversion or the matching law, belong in the group for that kind. Where an effect is described differently in classical and operant work, the member page says so.
