Learn Before
A researcher is training a rat in a special cage. Each time the rat presses a lever, a light flashes, and then a food pellet is delivered. After many trials, the researcher observes that the rat will continue to press the lever for a short time if only the light flashes, even without the food pellet. Based on this learned behavior, how is the flashing light functioning in this experiment?
