Hume: Of the Reasoning of Animals
Paragraph 2,3,4: Throughout these paragraphs Jume is speaking of how animals can learn from their own life experiences and how they can learn from discipline and education (training) of owners, trainers, breeders, etc... When they learn from a person what to do it is called a conditioned stimulus. A conditioned stimulus is when a person learns to associate certain sounds, smells, actions, etc... with something that they have learned. This causes a conditioned response. A conditioned response is a learned response.

This is very true what you wrote. Not only did I learn this in psychology but also in philosophy. You explained that very well with what Hume was trying to say.
I learned this is psychology too. Hume talks about how animals and humans learn things the same way. We learn things from our parents and teachers such as how to drive, walk, talk and we also learned what not to do in life. It is also the same for animals they learn things from their trainers and parents too.
