Generalization Explained:
The process of taking a skill learned in one setting (e.g. school, home ) and applying it in other settings (e.g. Mall, coffee shop, transit, and workplace). It may also be used to define the process of taking one skill and applying it in a different way (e.g. zip coat up and zip up backpack) (Fouse & Wheeler, 1997).

Generalization provides more support and reinforcement in the beginning, but gradually fades when the individual is performing the skill independently.
