Yay for positive reinforcement, my psych class now uses "sniffy" which is a computer programed rat to teach us how to use positive reinforcement instead of using a real rat.
Pavlov used Classical Conditioning whereas this is along the lines of Operant Conditioning following BF Skinner. Instead of dealing with "natural" responses these are "shaped" using a simple reinforcement.
What treat did you use?

@FULANINHOM - You can use anything loaded with sugar. I had students use breakfast cereal but you can also use yogurt-covered fruit.
