(2 years old) describe the importance of the classical conditioning phase of training sniffy to press a lever under continuous reinforcement conditions. How would you decide that with a real rat: describe how practice effects and the difficulty of the distraction task were controlled for in the motor skills experiment. Describe the means by which we controlled for progressive and random error. Counterbalancing (i. e. abba) technique which ensures that all conditions benefit equally from practice, as you progress through the experiment. Consider: why do we counterbalance? (because of progressive error i. e. practice effect) We measure y 2x, once w/ x and once without x (i. e. pre-test/post test method). Eliminated through finding means (avg), performing many trials, and eliminating outliers. Dependant variable: distance on target (measured in mm).
