Pavlov’s Dogs and How People Learn (Classical Conditioning)

Classical Conditioning (also known as Pavlovian Conditioning) was discovered by accident.

Ivan Pavlov - a Russian Physiologist, and the first Russian to win the Nobel Peace Prize for Physiology or Medicine - was studying the gastric system of dogs when he observed that the dogs began salivating in anticipation of food... The dogs had learned to associate certain sounds, or doors opening, with the delivery of food.
