Going on a walk
Scenario: What is the Unconditioned response?
To run the door
Scenario: What is the Neutral Stimuli?
The leash
Scenario: What becomes the Conditioned stimulus?
The leash
Scenario: What becomes the Conditioned Response?
To run to the door when the dog sees the leash
What is extinction?
When the behavior stops because the reinforcer of the behavior is removed for some time. Ex. The dog stops using leashes to go on walks???
What is spontaneous recovery?
When the connection between the stimulus are made again after extinction.
What is generalization?
When a behavior learned in one situation is seen in similar situations. Ex. Dog runs to door when they see owner holding a rope
