I'm stumped. It's like the old saying goes, 'When in doubt, choose B.' So I'm sticking with option B. Can't go wrong with a classic 'hello' example, am I right?

I disagree, I believe option C is a stronger example.

Haha, option A is clearly the wrong answer. Bonnie going from coordinated outfits to only wearing red is more like stimulus discrimination, not generalization. Maybe she just really likes red, who knows?

I'm going with option D. Tim learned to ask his teacher for help, and now he can do the same with a fellow student. That's a great example of how the skill generalized to a new situation.

I think option A is the best example. Bonnie only choosing red outfits after learning to coordinate them shows stimulus generalization.

Option D is a good choice. Tim's ability to ask for help transferred from his teacher to a fellow student.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Option C sounds like it could be stimulus generalization, where learning in one area led to improvement in another. But it's a bit more complex than the simple 'hello' example.

I think the best example of stimulus generalization is option B. Jim was taught to say 'hello' and he continues to say it, even to his trainer. That's a classic example of how learning can be applied to similar situations.
