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.

  b. memory is similar; for instance, a defect in one component spreads to other components.
