Psychologists believe that children learn to control their bladders 
during sleep through classical conditioning, a type of learning in which an 
organism comes to associate different events. Normally, a wet bed or diaper 
causes a child to awaken. Through repeated pairings, bladder tension becomes 
associated with the sensation of wetness and children wake up when they 
sense that the bladder is full. 
        Imagine that you are baby-sitting a 6-year-old bed-wetter who has 
not yet learned the connection between bladder tension and wetness. In 
desperation, the child's parents consult a behavioral psychologist who has 
developed a classical conditioning technique for controlling bed-wetting, 
using a special sheet containing fine electric wires. When a sleeping child 
wets the bed, the urine (which conducts electricity) immediately completes 
an electrical circuit and causes a loud bell to ring, awakening the child. 
Over time, bladder tension becomes associated with the bell and the child is 
conditioned to wake up before actually wetting the bed.

principles underlying the conditioning technique, they are seeking your help
