Classical Conditioning by Pavlov

Image
This is a simple and easy-to-watch video for Pavlov's classical conditioning related to behaviorism. I remember that I saw a picture of a dog that a researcher put a tube in her stomach to check the dog's gastric juice when the dog hears a bell sound. Key words to remember are  Unconditioned Stimulus (US): the food Unconditioned Response (UR): salivation Conditioned Stimulus (CS): the bell sound Conditioned Responses (CR): salivation to the sound, not food (even under the food is gone) Although I strongly support Vygotsky's critiques to Pavlov, this is a good video to watch to remind the Pavlov's classical conditioning. BTW, it is surprising to know that Pavlov is the Nobel Prize winner in 1904. Enjoy watching!
