In Laurie's psychology laboratory, Laurie and her lab partner conditioned a rat to press a lever for food when a red light was on, but discovered that the rat would also press the lever when a white light was on. Laurie and her partner reported that the rat had exhibited through conditioning.

The answer is generalization and operant conditioning, respectively.

Explanation:

Genralization occurs when a subject presents the same response to other similar stimuli. In this case, the rat was conditioned to press the lever in the presence of a red light, but it generalized to white light too.

Operant conditioning is an appraoch to learning that seeks to understand the motivation that drives behaviour. It involves voluntary actions, and explains that subjects are more likely to repeat an action when it is reinforced.
