Discussion

A person had a blue car that was in the shop more than it was out. Since then the person could not think of owning a blue or green coloured car. The person's aversion even to green cars is an example of

  • A.Discrimination
  • B.Generalization
  • C.Latent learning
  • D.The overjustification effect

Answer: B

The person's aversion to green cars after a bad experience with a blue car is an example of generalization. The response, avoidance, learned for a blue car spreads to a similar stimulus, a green car.

Discrimination would mean responding differently to blue and green cars, latent learning is learning that is not shown in behaviour until there is a reward, and the overjustification effect is the loss of intrinsic motivation after external rewards. So the second option is correct.
