I want to hug both of you.
What is up with all the waving bears?
It’s a conditioned response/conditioned stimulus feedback loop. What they don’t show is that food is involved. Human waves. Bear waves back. Human throws bear food — a reward that reinforces the behavior of waving to the point where the bear will always wave at humans, expecting food in return.
