Document Summary

Eventually the dog would salivate to the sight of black water or black water in a bottle. Orosensory stimuli stimuli that are distinguishable by sight and also produce a distinctive texture and taste. Association between one feature of an object with another is called object learning. Studying learning requires the two stimuli to be able to be independently manipulated, which is hard to do when both stimuli belong to the same object. Later on pavlov used procedures where the stimuli to be associated came from different sources. The tone or light is the conditional stimulus because the effectiveness of it eliciting salivation is conditional on the pairing of the presentation of food. The presentation of food was unconditioned stimulus because its effectiveness in eliciting salivation did not depend on any prior training. The eventual salivation from the light or tone was called the conditioned response. The salivation to the food was the unconditioned response.
