At some levels of beginning play, some coaches decide to have players play the position they rotate into rather than specialize. This concept is called generalization. When generalization is used, there's no need to discuss rotational transition, in which players move to their assigned front- or back-row position on the contact of the serve. With generalization, players simply stay where they are-a different position in every rotation. 1, record 1, English, - generalization

L’universalisme est une conception de jeu caractérisée par l’attribution de rôles en fonction des postes occupés par les joueurs sur le terrain à chaque rotation. [Par] exemple, le joueur se trouvant au poste 3 aura le rôle de passeur et les joueurs des postes 4 et 2 auront le rôle d’attaquant. 2, record 1, French, - universalisme

The tendency for a behavior that has been reinforced in one situation to occur in similar, but different, situations. Generalization is the opposite of discrimination. For example, a young child's saying "Daddy" in presence of father has been reinforced. This response may generalize to other men. That is, the child will have the tendency to say "Daddy" when in the presence of the mailman, milkman, or uncle. The greater the similarity between father and these other men, the greater the likelihood of generalization. This response will eventually be emitted only in the presence of father, owing to the discrimination training procedure. 3, record 2, English, - generalization

Au cours d'une de ses expériences. Pavlov a d'abord montré un cercle à un chien, puis lui a donné de la nourriture. Après plusieurs essais, l'animal salivait à la vue du cercle. Pavlov lui a ensuite montré une ellipse (figure de forme ovale). Comme le chien se mettait de nouveau à saliver, Pavlov a supposé que l'animal avait « généralisé » sa réponse à un nouveau stimulus semblable au cercle. Mais quand Pavlov a continué à présenter le cercle avec la nourriture et l'ellipse sans nourriture, le chien a appris à « discriminer » (distinguer) les deux stimuli et à ne saliver qu'à la vue du cercle. Ce procédé s'appelle « entraînement à la discrimination ». 3, record 2, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9ralisation
