Such learning followed the past by the ball going into the hole (reinforcer) so even though leaning has no causal effects on whether the ball goes in, the accidental contingent relationship between leaning and ball being holed leads to reinforcement of leaning also called adventitious reinforcer.

In the scenario above, the representative Heuristic was employed as the teachers perception or guess was guided by the direction from which the ball rolled. The direction of the ball was used as prototype which influenced the teacher's decision to conclude it was the boy on the same row.
