Absolutely, and this is done all the time. Just think of the last time your mother called you by your first and middle names in a stern tone of voice - you associated the phrase with getting into trouble and you probably winced or flinched when you heard this. In terms of food, humans often begin to salivate when a favorite meal is presented, such as Thanksgiving turkey or Mom's homemade pie.

What is conditioned animal behaviour?

A conditioned behavior is one that is taught. Like when you give a dog a treat for performing a trick. You have "conditioned" the dog to do something in expectation of a reward. Just like if you take your dog for a walk on a leash. Soon the dog learns when you get the leash out he is going for a walk. His conditioned response is dancing around in excitement. One of the most well know experiments on this subject was done by Pavlov. He rang a bell before feeding the dogs in the study. Soon the dogs began to salivate in anticipation of receiving the food when the bell was rang even if no food was given. They were conditioned to expect food when the bell rang.


Why did Pavlovs dog salivate to a tone?

How can the conditioned response become extinct?

A conditioned response can become extinct by reverse conditioning. That is, if a dog has been conditioned to drool when he hears a bell, he can be conditioned not to drool when he hears the bell.The conditioned response in psychology may become extinct when the withdrawl of reinforcement happens.
