Generalization is when someone use what he or she has experienced in the past in the present experiences which are somewhat similar. Because, fireworks sounds like sound from gunfire, this makes him to remember how and where he used to live in the past.

Answer:Generalization

Explanation:In psychology, Generalization refers to how a person tends to respond the same way to diffrent but similar stimuli.

Gunfire and fire works both make loud noise and this is their similarity but they are different , fireworks are mostly used for entertainment activities whilst guns are used in war .

However since Kadin has lived in a region where she was exposed to gunfire , as a result she associates loud noises to gunfire , hence anything with loud noise triggers the same response as that triggered by gunfire
