Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In Pavlov’s dog experiment, he tested classic conditioning by:
A
putting them in a pen with a lever they could push for food
B
puting them in a maze with food at the end or with no food at the end.
C
imprinting the puppies with a mama cat
D
teaching them to salivate at the ringing of a bell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The dogs salivating for food is the unconditioned response in Pavlov’s experiment. A conditioned stimulus is a stimulus that can eventually trigger a conditioned response. In the described experiment, the conditioned stimulus was the ringing of the bell, and the conditioned response was salivation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The most famous example of classical conditioning was Ivan Pavlov’s experiment with dogs, who salivated in response to a bell tone. Pavlov showed that when a bell was sounded each time the dog was fed, the dog learned to associate the sound with the presentation of the food.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ivan Pavolov demonstrated what type of learning when he trained a dog to salivate on cue by ringing a bell? Explanation: When Ivan Pavlov trained a dog to salivate and expect food whenever it heard a bell, he demonstrated the existence of classical conditioning.

Detailed explanation-4: -He used a metronome and clicked it right before giving the dogs food. Over time, the sounds of the clicking metronome caused an increase in salivation. This means that the dog learned to associate the metronome and the food with a learned behavior.

Detailed explanation-5: -In Pavlov’s experiment, ringing of the bell is a neutral stimulus. After becoming associated with the unconditioned stimulus like food, it become conditioned.
