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.
