The Assumption of Generality underlies the research work of the experimental analysis of behavior in which the effects of schedules of reinforcement in non-humans (often pigeons) is assumed to generalize to humans. Generality can effect many daily things in a person. The naturalization of the sun light helps our bodies to stay awake and keep motivated. The darkness that comes with night tells are body to slow down for the day and get some rest. The ability to survive comes with generality. Experiments have been done to test inescapability and insolubility.
Fergus Lowe has questioned the generality of schedule effects in cases of fixed-interval performance among humans and non-humans.
Famous quotes containing the word generality:
“Heroism, or military glory, is much admired by the generality of mankind. They consider it as the most sublime kind of merit. Men of cool reflection are not so sanguine in their praises of it.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
