AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Pavlov was conducting research on the digestion of dogs when he noticed that the dogs’ physical reactions to food subtly changed over time. At first, the dogs would only salivate when the food was placed in front of them. However, later they salivated slightly before their food arrived.

Detailed explanation-2: -What was Ivan Pavlov best known for? Ivan Pavlov developed an experiment testing the concept of the conditioned reflex. He trained a hungry dog to salivate at the sound of a metronome or buzzer, which was previously associated with the sight of food.

Detailed explanation-3: -Classical conditioning is learning through association and was first demonstrated by Ivan Pavlov. Pavlov showed that dogs could be conditioned to salivate at the sound of a bell if that sound was repeatedly presented at the same time that they were given food.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Pavlov actually worked with more than 40 dogs during his experiments. Some of the dogs’ names were Bierka, Krasavietz, Beck, Milkah, Ikar, Joy, Tungus, Arleekin, Rusian, Toi, and Murashka.

Detailed explanation-5: -Classical conditioning theory states that behaviors are learned by connecting a neutral stimulus with a positive one, such as Pavlov’s dogs hearing a bell (neutral) and expecting food (positive). The learned behavior is called a conditioned response.
