“The Lottery” is a short story written by the famous writer Shirley Jackson in 1943. The Lottery tells the story of a small village that holds a lottery every year to decide which person from the village is going to be stoned by the other villagers. However, the reader does not know about this until the very end. In the first paragraph, Jackson describes the lottery in a way that it creates uncertainty. She starts creating so much suspense that the reader may feel uneasy, anxious or disturbed since he/she may not fully understand what the lottery is about. As far as we know, lotteries are generally played in a different way, with papers or numbers and players usually receive a nice reward, such as money and nice objects. However, in Jackson’s story, the reader is not sure why the villagers are meeting up in the center of the village or why the children from the village are collecting and stones. So, the way Jackson starts this story makes the readers read until the very end in order to find out what is actually going on.

Maddie is a beagle puppy always looking for her next meal. As soon as she hears the rustle of the dog food bag, she hits the flo
dem82 [27]

Answer:

The sound of the bad rustling is called conditioned stimulus.

Maddie's ability to tell the difference is called discrimination.

Explanation:

In classical conditioning, a conditioned stimulus can be defined as a neutral stimulus that has become associated with an unconditioned stimulus and, eventually, begins to trigger a conditioned response. In Maddie's case, she learned to associate the sound of the bag to being given food. For that reason, the sound of the bag has become the conditioned stimulus that triggers her response of running to the kitchen.

Discrimination, in classical conditioning, is the ability to tell the difference between a stimulus and other stimuli that are similar to it. The sounds of Maddie's dog food bag and the chips bag may be similar, but Maggie has learned to differentiate them. She is showing discrimination, which is why she does not run to the kitchen when she hears the sound of the chips bag.
