semantic generalization
semantic generalization Semantic generalization is the carryover of meaning-based similarity between stimulus features, so that different features are treated as related because they share the same semantic content, such as “left” location and a shape pointing left.
Semantic generalization is the carryover of meaning-based similarity between stimulus features, so that different features are treated as related because they share the same semantic content, such as “left” location and a shape pointing left. In this context, it can make effects appear to transfer across different perceptual dimensions even when low-level features differ.
