  • A service dog is trained to nudge its owner's leg when it hears a specific, high-pitched smoke alarm. During training, the dog is exposed to various other sounds, such as a doorbell, a telephone ringing, and a lower-pitched fire truck siren, but it is only rewarded for responding to the smoke alarm. After training, the dog reliably nudges its owner at the sound of the smoke alarm but ignores the other sounds. Which statement best explains the dog's behavior?
