Which of the following is an example of operant conditioning? A. when a dog plays dead she gets a treat in order to encourage her to repeat the behavior B. when a cat learns to drool at the sound of a can opener C. when a dog refuses to play dead D. when a cat and a dog share the same water bowl.
It's the same thing that Pavlov did with the dogs, but instead of a can opener, he used a bell. The dogs drooled at the sound of the bell because they knew that the food was coming.
