According to the parallel distributed processing model of semantic memory, how does spontaneous generalization differ from default assignment?
 
  a. In spontaneous generalization, we make a more conscious effort to draw inferences.
  b. In spontaneous generalization, we can only account for conditioning (e.g., classical conditioning), whereas default assignment is a more sophisticated process.
  c. Spontaneous generalization takes place in long-term memory; default assignment takes place in working memory.
  d. In spontaneous generalization, we draw a conclusion about an entire category; in default assignment, we draw a conclusion about one member of a category.

Question 2

If an important component of your television set is defective, the television will not operate, even if all the other parts are in good working order. According to the parallel distributed processing approach,

  b. memory is similar; for instance, a defect in one component spreads to other components.
  c. memory is different; for instance, the functioning parts help to heal the defective part.
  d. memory is different; for instance, memory can often operate, even if some of the input is inappropriate.
