Document Summary

The first time you turn on the electric can opener, the dog pays no attention to the noise it makes, but then runs over when it smells the yummy odours coming from the open can. Eventually, the dog learns that the noise is related to the yummy smell and comes running as soon as he hears the can opener. However, he smokes cigarettes, and every time he comes over to your apartment he smokes a lot, and the smell gives you a really bad headache. Now, whenever you see him, you start to get a headache, even if he isn"t smoking. After the rat has learned this maze, you train it to run through maze b. Later, you find that the rat has more trouble remembering the way through maze. The roommate has asked for help working through some difficulties with a computer program.
