Detailed explanation-1: -In Pavlov’s experiment, the food was the unconditioned stimulus. An unconditioned response is an automatic response to a stimulus. The dogs salivating for food is the unconditioned response in Pavlov’s experiment.
Detailed explanation-2: -The unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is a stimulus that causes a response automatically. In Pavlov’s experiment, the UCS was the meat powder.
Detailed explanation-3: -The sound of a metronome was chosen to be the neutral stimulus. The dogs would first be exposed to the sound of the ticking metronome, and then the food was immediately presented. After several conditioning trials, Pavlov noted that the dogs began to salivate after hearing the metronome.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pavlov’s Dog Experiments Pavlov came across classical conditioning unintentionally during his research into animals’ gastric systems. Whilst measuring the salivation rates of dogs, he found that they would produce saliva when they heard or smelt food in anticipation of feeding.
