Abstract
One female college freshman, serving as 5, was conditioned to salivate to a list of words, and generalization to synonym-related and homonym-related word lists was then studied. No significant difference was found between generalization to the word lists of synonyms and homonyms; both lists exerted the same control over behavior. E concluded that these results support the notion that reliable semantic generalization gradients can not be demonstrated when the data of individual Ss are considered. Some shortcomings of semantic conditioning and generalization research are discussed.
