1. Why are the generalization and discrimination aspects of Classical Conditioning important for successful navigation of the environment by humans?
Stimulus generalization would help people connect themselves with similar stimulus that elicited a favourable or unfavourable behaviour. This would mean that it would help people be alert regarding the dangerous stimuli while also get along with similar stimuli. Stimulus discrimination would help people discriminate between similar stimuli which would help them adopt a more appropriate behaviour depending on the stimulus that people face. People would be able to base their behaviours depending on whether they generalize or discriminate which would also determine the outcomes of those behaviours.
