Document Summary
Observed role of saliva in digestion w/ dogs. To get dog to produce saliva: put food on tongue, dog begins to salivate before food gets on tongue and actually when pavlov"s footsteps entered room. Behaviors that are elicited automatically by some stimulus, stimulus doesn"t produce a new behavior but causes an existing behavior to occur (usually involves reflex {unlearned, autonomic} behavior) Salivating in response to sight of pavlov or footsteps = learned stimulus. Is a process of learning association between 2 stimuli neutral stimulus is paired w/ unlearned/natural stimulus that elicits reflex response(saliva) Reappearance of previously extinguished conditioned response after period of time without exposure to conditioned stimulus: if allowed period of rest following extinction (few hours), the conditioned response can reappear if presented with conditioned stimulus again. American psychologist: searched for lawful processes that explain order in behavior. Believed that psychology should restrict itself to studying only phenomena then can be measured/ verified (outwardly observable behavior/ environmental events)
