Question

How did Pavlov Discover Classical Conditioning?
Ivan Pavlov was studying how dogs processed food when he noticed something important. He saw the dogs he was working with start to drool whenever they smelled food. He hypothesized that they did this because they knew they would be fed when they smelled food.

To test this idea, he began to ring a bell every time he fed his dogs. After a while, the dogs began drooling when
they heard the bell. They even drooled when he didn't feed them right away. This proved animals could learn to anticipate events by connecting them to other events.

A. The amount dogs drool shows how much they love food.
B. Only certain breeds of dogs can learn to anticipate food.
C. Bells are an effective way to make dogs drool.
