Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of stimulus discrimination, where the dog has learned to differentiate between two different stimuli (the 3000-Hz tone and the 2800-Hz tone) and responds only to one. This indicates the dog's ability to distinguish between similar but not identical stimuli.
