Classical Conditioning

Eons ago, when I was taking my first General Psychology class I learned about Pavlov's dog experiment. For those of you who don't know this story allow me to condense it for you. Basically Pavlov noticed that whenever his caged dogs heard footsteps of those who feed them they began to salivate. He took this one step further and had the feeders ring a bell before giving the dogs food. After a while, they were able to remove the food and just ring a bell to trigger the salivating response.

Now when I had learned of this principle in Psychology, my mind began to wander. I started thinking of extravagant experiments I could conduct. One of them roamed my mind quite frequently. My question was what if I could condition my roommates to "go to the bathroom" by using a song that only played while they were going. It would be hard to pick out a song, and no doubt it would require lots of time and effort to follow them around; however this thought has amused me for the past couple of years. One folly to this experiment is what if I mess them up for life? If I pick a popular song that suddenly appears on the radio they will have no where to go! A law suit would be inevitable. I guess this is the main reason why I should never be a psychologist and just stick to dissecting animals.
