The tendency to respond to stimuli that are similar to an original conditioned stimulus is called a. generalization. b. habituation. c. aggregation. d. sensitization.

The tendency to respond to stimuli that are similar to an original conditioned stimulus is called generalization (option a).

Explanation:

Generalization in a conditioned stimulus occurs when an individual, who has previously developed a conditioned response to a given stimulus, develops the same response to a similar stimulus.

An example of generalization to a stimulus occurs when a young child receives a syrup medicine whose color is red, which he rejects due to its bad taste. Generalization will cause him to reject any red liquid, even if it is not medicine.
