Salivation is primarily controlled by the autonomic nervous system, specifically the parasympathetic nervous system. When stimulated, the parasympathetic nervous system activates salivary glands to produce saliva, which helps with digestion and swallowing. Additionally, sensory input such as the smell or taste of food can also trigger the salivary reflex.

Is salivation a conditioned stimulus?

Salivation is a natural response to the presence of food (unconditioned stimulus) and is not typically considered a conditioned stimulus. However, in a classical conditioning context, salivation can become a conditioned response if it is consistently paired with a neutral stimulus (like a bell) that initially elicits no salivation, but comes to do so after repeated pairings with the food.

What triggers anticipatory salivation?

Anticipatory salivation is triggered by conditioned stimuli that have been associated with the ingestion of food. For example, the sight or smell of food, or even certain sounds or words related to food, can induce a physiological response in the form of salivation. This anticipatory response is a learned behavior that helps prepare the body for digestion.
