Therefore, generalization is a valuable and integral part of learning and everyday life. Generalization is shown to have implications on the use of the spacing effect in educational settings. [13] In the past, it was thought that the information forgotten between periods of learning when implementing spaced presentation inhibited generalization ...
Bird with earthworm: Shepard gives example of bird using "generalization," based on experience with one previous worm, to decide if another worm is edible. The universal law of generalization is a theory of cognition stating that the probability of a response to one stimulus being generalized to another is a function of the “distance ...
A polygon is a generalization of a 3-sided triangle, a 4-sided quadrilateral, and so on to n sides. A hypercube is a generalization of a 2-dimensional square, a 3-dimensional cube, and so on to n dimensions. A quadric, such as a hypersphere, ellipsoid, paraboloid, or hyperboloid, is a generalization of a conic section to higher dimensions.
The generalization rule states that () can be derived if is not mentioned in and does not occur in . These restrictions are necessary for soundness. Without the first restriction, one could conclude ∀ x P ( x ) {\displaystyle \forall xP(x)} from the hypothesis P ( y ) {\displaystyle P(y)} .
In probability and statistics, the generalized beta distribution [1] is a continuous probability distribution with four shape parameters, including more than thirty named distributions as limiting or special cases.

Roger Newland Shepard (January 30, 1929 – May 30, 2022 [1]) was an American cognitive scientist and author of the "universal law of generalization" (1987).He was considered a father of research on spatial relations.
In predicate logic, existential generalization [1] [2] (also known as existential introduction, ∃I) is a valid rule of inference that allows one to move from a specific statement, or one instance, to a quantified generalized statement, or existential proposition.
