Answer:
Generalization
Explanation:
In psychology and classical conditioning, the term generalization makes reference to the tendency to respond to similar stimuli in the same way. In other words, we are conditioned to manifest a response with some particular stimulus but, thanks to the process of generalization, we will manifest the same response to some other stimuli that are somehow similar to the one we were conditioned to.
In this case, Little Albert was conditioned to fear furry white rats. However, he also started fearing rabbits, dogs and fur coats. In other words, he started fearing objects or animals that were white or furry (and similar to the original furry white rats). Thus, this best illustrates generalization.
