Explanation:Reference group is a group that one's uses as their point of reference in terms of how they form certain attitude , values , beliefs and behavior , they base all of these to that particular group.
For example Jeff looks up to the gold team cause he aspires to be one of them , then he starts dressing like them ,this means he uses this group as a point of reference for him on how to dress up as part of that group.
In this example, john's whistling is serving as a discriminative stimulus.
This procedure, studied by Ivan Pavlov, shows a stimulus ( in this case the action of John's whistling) and a response ( the cattle run to the food trough).
Pavlov studied it with dogs. He realised that when a trainer fed them, dogs salivated. So, he presented the dogs with a "stimulus" ( the sound of a metronome) and when he gave the dogs food. After a few repetitions, when the dog listened to the stimulus, it salivated.
