Conditioning

Sit! Stay! Good boy! Have you ever wondered how trainers can get dogs and other animals to change their natural behaviour? In this BrainPOP UK movie, Tim and Moby will tell you everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the process of behavioural conditioning - or training. Beginning with experiments by Russian behaviour scientist Ivan Pavlov, you’ll see how people and animals learn to associate a conditioned stimulus, like a bell, with the arrival of food, and how that affects them physically. In this educational, animated movie you’ll see how the physical response differs when the bell is sounded before or after the food arrives and Tim will also show you how an unconditioned response becomes a conditioned one. Plus, you’ll learn the difference between classical conditioning and operant conditioning, and you’ll see how we use all this information to train our pets. Now go fetch the movie!
