Q

how did Ivan Pavlo pro classical conditioning?

A

he run a study in which he rang about. Every time he fed the dogs pretty soon just ringing a bell made the dog salivate. Pavlov said that dogs were demonstrating classical conditioning. He sum it up like this there’s a neutral stimulus on the bell, which by itself will not produce a response like salivation. it means that when ringing a bell when he fed the dog, the dog would recognize that when he is ranging now the bell, it’s time to eat
