Question 1right433705Ivan Pavlov had a hypothesis that dogs don’t need to learn to salivate once they see food (stimulus response that doesn’t need to be learnt.) he showed unconditioned responses was proven by presenting a dog with food and measuring its saliva. When Pavlov discovered that dogs can associate food with certain triggers he knew that dogs learnt this behaviour. The trigger is called neutral stimulus. Pavlov used a bell whenever he gave food to the dog; after doing this a few times the dog salivated whenever the dog heard just the bell. Because the behaviour was learnt this became a conditioned response.
