    When I was a kid I pressed the “return coin” button on a vending machine at a rest stop and 50¢ came out. Gotta check every single vending machine now.

    My cats did the same thing when they found a mouse. They would stand guard where they first saw it for over a month afterwards.

      My wife’s Yorkie once chased a mouse into a kitchen cupboard. After moving apartments and a decade later, if you asked him “where’s the mouse?” He’d run to the kitchen and stare at the cupboards

    Our neighborhood has the Magical Chicken Wing bush. The dog thoroughly inspected it for months afterwards, and still checks on it now and then just in case.

      Probably closer to intermittent reward than Pavlovian conditioning! But yeah, definitely already “well defined” by psychology haha
