Learned generalization or secondary generalization is an aspect of learning theory. In learning studies it can be shown that subjects, both animal and human will respond in the same way to different stimuli if they have similar properties established by a process of conditioning. This underpins the process by which subjects are able to perform newly acquired behaviours in new settings.
