Document Summary

How do we learn how to speak learning through watching others doing it. Pavlov was a biologist, wanted to study the spit, why is it there, yadda yadda. Had test tubes hooked up to saliva of dogs to collect spit. Noticed that when food was served the spit was collected. Noticed after a few days of giving them food, that every time he walked up to the dogsn to give the food, the saliva would flow. The questiong became why were they salvating before the food was given to him. Tuning fork + food introduced to the same time, and just turning fork after and dog savated. Tuning fork is a conditioned stimulus and paired with unconditioned stimulus. In classical conidtiong, learning is the association of a conditioned stimulus or netural stimulus with an unconditioned stiimluus to the extent that the conditioned stimulus produces the unconditioned response.
