Extinction Day 1&2

 Extinction 

October 4th - 5th, 2022

Putting Pixie through the Extinction process was interesting, I have never trained an animal to u learn something once taught. Once completed she was put on free feed.

Day 1

Pixie was a bit finicky with the lack of rewards, losing interest very easily. We were only able to gather her attention for about 26 minutes, and within in that time she managed to press the lever 307 times, in stop and start spirts.

Day 2

Continuing her behavior the second day, she managed to press the lever 202 times. 

A major decline in her responses from the FR training, Pixie did very well both days and the whole time training over September. There was no inclination of spontaneous recovery or extinction bursts in both sessions.
