As a Joke, Henry Has Taught His Beagle, Miles, to Salivate

question 37

Essay

As a joke, Henry has taught his beagle, Miles, to salivate to the phone ringing. He did this by pairing the phone ringing with food treats for a week. Four months later, Henry no longer finds it amusing that Miles drools to every phone that rings. Explain how Henry could attempt to extinguish this behavior. Another option would be to try and train Miles to only salivate to Henry's phone ring. Explain how Henry could do this and the name of the phenomenon.
