25.5 Review of Generic Extension
We have already seen that if all relevant features are present in a novel stimulus, then the type of extension is generic. Because any feature of an occasion can gain some control over a response made on that occasion, it is possible for a response to be evoked when only irrelevant features that accompanied relevant features are present in a novel situation. This latter type of extension is presented in the next lesson.
