Ivan Petrovitch Pavlov – (1849 – 1936) Brilliant Russian Psychologist, who laid the foundation for modern learning approaches.

 

Classical Conditioning – Pavlov presented food (the unconditioned stimulus), which causes salivation in dogs (the unconditioned or automatic response), to a hungry dog, at the same time pairing it with something that normally did not cause salivation, such as a bell (neutral stimulus). Pavlov found that if he paired the food presentation and bell a number of times, eventually merely the sound of the bell solicited salivation.
