Document Summary
When food was presented the dog salivated; seeing the food caused the dog to salivte. Systematically varied the stimuli and varied the dogs reaction. Did not salivate to pavlov because he was always there and not a good predictor of when the food is there. Salivation was (eventually) triggered by what should have been neutral stimuli such as: Seeing the person who brought the food. Salivation was not just triggered by food itself. Neutral stimuli- things that should not have triggered salivation on its own. Before conditioning it does not elicit any type of response. Unconditioned stimulus (dog food) unconditioned response (dog salivates) Neutral stimulus (bell) + unconditioned stimulus (dog food) unconditioned response (dog salivates) During process of association these things are combined with the food which is why the dog salivates. Over time bell alone will cause salivation. Conditioned (formerly neutral; bell) stimulus conditioned response (dog salivates)
