Moseley, Lorimer & Vlaeyen, Johannes. (2015). Beyond nociception: the imprecision hypothesis chronic pain. Pain. 156. 10.1016/j.pain.0000000000000014.
Original stimulus that causes pain (medium pentagon) may only be of one type, but if the pain reflex is not coded properly, any similar but not same stimuli ( large or small pentagon) can cause the same type of pain. This is generalization.
