The answer would be extinction (since the battery is needed to make the toy work). This alludes to the steady debilitating of an adapted reaction that outcomes in the conduct diminishing or vanishing. At the end of the day, the molded conduct in the end stops. For instance, envision that you educated your dogs to shake hands. After some time, the trick turned out to be less fascinating.
