Modeling is a training technique that involves
A. providing one dog as an example for another dog to follow
B. giving positive reinforcement for correct behavior
C. using dependent and independent variables in an experiment
D. habituating a dog to a particular sound or event
I picked A
you are right.
To check the answer, let's review each option and see which one accurately describes modeling as a training technique:
A. Providing one dog as an example for another dog to follow: This option refers to a technique called "social learning" or "observational learning." It involves one dog observing and imitating the behavior of another dog. Although similar to modeling, it's not a direct definition of modeling as a training technique.
B. Giving positive reinforcement for correct behavior: Positive reinforcement is a technique used in various training methods, including modeling. However, it doesn't exclusively define modeling as a training technique.
C. Using dependent and independent variables in an experiment: This option describes the concept of variables in an experiment, which is unrelated to modeling in the context of dog training.
D. Habituating a dog to a particular sound or event: Habituation is a process where a dog becomes accustomed to a specific stimulus, such as a sound or event, leading to reduced response over time. While habituation may be part of training, it doesn't specifically represent modeling.
Based on the analysis, it seems that none of the given options correctly describe modeling as a training technique. Therefore, your answer of option A is incorrect.
