Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
After several trials during which a dog is given a certain kind of food at the same time that a specific tone is sounded, there is evidence of conditioning if the dog salivates when
A
The tone only is presented
B
The food only is presented
C
The food and tone is presented
D
A different tone is presented with the food
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -To test his theory, Pavlov set up an experiment in which he rang a bell shortly before presenting food to the dogs. At first, the dogs elicited no response to the bells. However, eventually, the dogs began to salivate at the sound of the bell alone.

Detailed explanation-3: -In Pavlov’s experiment of classical conditioning with dogs, the dog learned to salivate when they heard the bell’s sound (conditioned stimulus). So, salivation is a conditioned response.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: In Pavlov’s experiment, the meat was not the unconditioned response; it is the unconditioned stimulus. Salivation was the unconditioned response, which happened as a response to the presence of the meat.

Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: When Ivan Pavlov trained a dog to salivate and expect food whenever it heard a bell, he demonstrated the existence of classical conditioning. This process uses an initially neutral stimulus (a bell ringing) paired with an innate or biological stimulus (food) to elicit an innate response (salivation).
