3. When Sabrina feeds her cat Luna, she puts the food dish on the floor. One day a few weeks ago, Sabrina tried a new procedure. After Sabrina put the food dish on the floor, she would snap her fingers, which was paired with Luna eating the food and licking her chops (yum!). One night about a week ago, a half hour or so before Luna’s normal mealtime, they were sitting on the couch. Sabrina snapped her fingers to see if there was any classical conditioning — Luna looked at Sabrina and licked her chops!

4. Jerry is trying to use classical conditioning to train his fish, Fin to go into the cave in her aquarium on cue (the beginning of the theme from Jaws).

Jerry believes Fin dislikes bright lights and will hide from them by going into the cave.

Several times per day, Jerry plays the theme from Jaws and then shines a bright light into the aquarium.

 

What does it mean if Fin’s behavior does not change in response to the song or the light?

Fin is positively phototaxic.

 

The bright light is not an unconditioned stimulus that elicits hiding as an unconditioned response.

 

Fin cannot hear the Jaws theme song.
