what really is the key distinctiveness between trace and delay
conditioning?
I get the feeling that the stimulus trace is some kind of lingering
of the echoic or auditory characteristic of the CS.
But isn't the auditory sensitivity of the dog so refined that even though
there is a slight pause (to the human experimenter),the dog may still be
responding to the stimulus trace?
So one may be able to condition a dog to a doggie whistle,even though
the experimenter may not hear the whistle.
