The Pavlov Altoid Theory

In neuroscience class, we learned about conditional learning. The experiment described in class was a tone followed by a puff of air given to the eye of a rabbit. After sometime the rabbit was able to clsoe its eye in anticipation of the puff of air at the signal of the tone. This reminded me of a prank done by Jim (played by John Krasinkni) on Dwight (Rainn Wilson) on the show The Office. I need to try this out on someone!
