Suppose a dog is classically conditioned to salivate in response to a metronome ticking at 90 beats per minute. We can then measure the amount of salivation produced when we present a metronome ticking at 80 beats per minute, and 100 beats per minute. In this example, what is the independent variable? What is the dependent variable?
