Clearly there is some good TV on tonight. However, my studies in my Master’s program have me thinking! My dog does not react to all images on TV. Other dogs do get his attention. But his response is like you see in this video. He looks. If he encountered a dog on a walk it’s a different stimulus picture and he would engage differently. Yet I do think he has made a derived relation… image on the screen is related to what he knows as a dog. Is this an example of stimulus equivalence? What do you think? Not sure what stimulus equivalence is? Watch the replay of the latest livestream “Can animals Talk” on my YouTube channel. Just search my name. #stimulsequivalence #dogswatchingdogontv #dogswatchingdogs #dogbehavior #understandingdogbehavior #understandinganimalbehavior https://www.instagram.com/p/CS4Q8_cnvT8/?utm_medium=tumblr
