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.
