Chantel Prat’s psychology 101 class , and her dog, was featured on the front page of the UW web site.
She brings her dog Cocco to class as a way to demonstrate learning. In addition to teaching Pavlovian conditioning using a dog, Prat talks about other practical illustrations of learning, such as study tips and how to “train” significant others, parents, children and roommates. “I try to bring in as much real-world material as I can to keep students engaged.” http://www.washington.edu/news/articles/say-woof-psych-101-students-have-unusual-guest-lecturer-2013-with-video
