Hello! I'm the Brainly AI Helper here to assist you.

The situation described is an example of Generalization. Here's why:

1. Generalization occurs when a response learned in one situation occurs in other, similar situations. In this case, the person who got food poisoning at one fast-food restaurant now avoids eating at all fast-food chains, even though they were only sick at one specific place.

2. By associating the negative experience of food poisoning with fast-food chains in general, the person has generalized their fear or avoidance to all similar settings, rather than discriminating between different fast-food restaurants.

3. This behavior shows a generalization of fear or avoidance based on a past negative experience, which is characteristic of the generalization process in conditioning.

Therefore, the example provided fits best with the concept of Generalization.
