You are working with a child on teaching swimming. You teach the child to do the front crawl. After a few weeks of teaching, the child is doing both the front crawl and also starts doing the breast stroke. What has occurred?
Stimulus Generalization is multiple stimuli, one response. Response Generalization is one stimulus, multiple responses. This has to be B because the stimulus is the water, and that child is now emitting multiple responses to that stimulus that all serve the same function.
This is response generalization as the responses are not dependent on similar but different stimulus discriminations; rather, they are dependent of producing the same functional reinforcer (i.e., swimming).
I think this is actually response generalization, as the client can now perform 2 functionally equivalent beahviors, and there has been no mention of a change in stimulus
