AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Pavlov called the dogs’ anticipatory salivation “psychic secretion". Putting these informal observations to an experimental test, Pavlov presented a stimulus (e.g. the sound of a metronome) and then gave the dog food; after a few repetitions, the dogs started to salivate in response to the stimulus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ivan Pavlov studied the behavior of dogs and developed a theory of classical conditioning, which explains how people associate two stimuli in their minds and react to one of them as though it was the other.

Detailed explanation-3: -An unconditioned response is an automatic reflex that occurs in response to an unconditioned stimulus. Unconditioned responses are natural and innate, and therefore, don’t have to be learned. The concept of unconditioned responses was first defined by Ivan Pavlov as part of his discovery of classical conditioning.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Discovery of the Conditioned Reflex The Nobel laureate physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov discovered the conditioned reflex in the first decade of the twentieth century. The initial work involved the autonomic nervous system with Pavlov’s use of the salivating reflex in dogs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Classical conditioning (also known as Pavlovian or respondent conditioning) is learning through association and was discovered by Pavlov, a Russian physiologist. In simple terms, two stimuli are linked together to produce a new learned response in a person or animal.
