Pavlov's was researching digestion in dogs and had designed ___________ to measure salivation

He noticed that when he entered a room, the dog's salivation increased whereas the dog would only salivate in the _________________

Apparatus

Presence of food

He aimed to investigate why this happened by ringing a bell (__) while presenting the food to the dog (___). The dog would salivate in response to the food (___)

NS

UCS

UCR

Following repeated ‘__________’ of the ball (NS) and food (UCS), when he rang the bell without any present food (CS), the dog still salivated (__)

Pairings

CR

Pavlova was able to show that throughout the learning of an ‘___________’ between stimulus (________) a CR can be produced. Pavlov's findings led to the theory of classical conditioning.

NS + UCS

He found once an animal has been conditioned, they will also respond to other stimuli that are _________ to the CS, known as _______________

Similar

Stimuli generalisation

__________ can also take place since unlike to UCR, the CR does not become ________________ as a response

After a few presentations of the CS in the _________ of the UCS, it loses its ability to produce the CR

Extinction

Permanently established

Absence

Food (UCS) → Salivation (UCR)

Food (UCS) + _________ → Salivation (UCR

___________ → Salivation (CR)

Ball (NS)

Ball (CS)
