Fish are easily taught to all go to the one side of the pond where the humans are as they learn they might get a primary reinforcer (aka: you don't need to learn to like food when you are hungry and ready for a meal ...whereas a secondary reinforcer is not inate and is something that must be learned ...example , touching etc ) .
Don't forget this is why we form a positive relationship with our herps and why they will learn to follow us around the garden !
Even with us humans remember how that one wonderful professor made us feel smart and safe and creative and had us wanting to learn? ...and now remember all those professors that
scared us ...and how we only did enough not to get in trouble and never ever offered any more.
I always remember the story of one trainer using aversive training , and the other positive reinforcement .
During the testing before all the onlookers .....one little elephant, when asked to lift his right foot , lifted his foot slowly just barley off the ground.....and the second little elephant , when asked to lift his
right foot , did so too ...only this little guy did it with lightening speed lifting his foot high in the air while waving his trunk and flapping his tail and ears as he leaned closer to his beloved trainer .
