Pavlov believed that actions are reinforced by positive reinforcers. For example, the well-known experiment he did with the dogs and a bell. He trained the dogs to react when they heard a bell ringing, by reinforcing the desired behavior with a treat.

Human reactions and responses are not that far off from that of the dogs in the experiment. Think of how when you are/were in school and the bell would ring to signal the end of the class. Well, the mere sound of the bell made you instantly begin to pack up your belongings and prepare to leave. You didn't have to stop and think about what sound (bell ringing) was, nor what it meant, right?
