Document Summary

Pavlov noticed as they prepared dogs for procedures, even before the meat powder was present, the dogs would start salivating. Began conducting experiments in which he 1st presented a sound from a metronome + presented meat powered to dogs. Classical conditioning -> learning that occurs when a neutral stimulus elicits a response that was originally caused by another stimulus. Neutral stimulus was sound of the tone paired with meat power that could. Defining characteristics of classical conditioning -> neutral stimulus comes elicit salivation to elicit a response. Stimulus; external event/something that elicits a response. Stimuli (plural); like food, water, pain, elicits a response. Unconditioned stimulus (us); stimulus that elicits a reflective response w/o. Unconditioned response (us); reflective, unlearned reaction to an learning unconditioned stimulus: **link between these 2 is unlearned, ex. meat powder elicited unconditioned salivation of his dogs, the dogs parents did not teach them that, it occurred naturally.
