When the light predicts water there beak is shut and when it predicts food, their beak is open. A potential problem with both of these models is that they generally predict that the conditioned. Response will be similar to the unconditioned response. Reactive response: when the unconditioned stimuli (food is here) produces the unconditioned response (salivation) Proactive response: when the conditioned stimulus (food is coming soon) produces the conditioned response (salivation) Cannot prepare: when the food is not coming for a while, you may not get a proactive response (ex. There are a lot of cues that could predict the onset of falling that could elicit a falling response.
