a conditioned response



When I got Mallory's food bowl out, she ran to the garage door. Is she smarter than Artimus and Gollum already? Mallory knows that she doesn't get fed until Tom comes home from work, and that's exactly why she ran to the door. The food was literally sitting out on the countertop, and she was in the other room. Pretty cool.


In
classical conditioning, the conditioned response is the learned response to the previously neutral stimulus.

  1. Yes Mallory is smart. She has learned from the "boys" and just keeps learning. What fun to see her grow.
