Ivan Pavlov accidentally discovered conditioning through an experiment in which he studied the saliva produced from a dog when shown food. A bell was also rung when the dog was shown food. After long enough, the dog would salivate just at the sound of the bell, without any food. Pavlov noticed he had altered the unconscious response of the dog by making him salivate to just the sound of a bell. The response connected between the food and salivation is known as the "unconditioned" response, because they were already connected (SBB). The dog salivating to the bell is known as the "conditioned" response, because it had to be learned through conditioning (SBB). The same goes for the cause, the "stimulus". The bell at first is known as the neutral stimulus, because it doesn't bring upon any response in the beginning. After conditioning, it is known as the "conditioned stimulus" (SBB). So basically, through repeated association with a certain stimulus and response, the.Ivan Pavlov accidentally discovered conditioning through an experiment in which he studied the saliva produced from a dog when shown food.
