Most animals on earth have saliva glands in their mouth. When they hear, smell, or see anything that is food, this causes a reaction in the saliva glands to over- salivate, because the saliva helps break down the food, and because the body (for some reason) thinks the food is already being eaten.

What is the main aim for the Pavlov's dog experiment?

The main aim of Pavlov's dog experiment was to study classical conditioning, a type of learning where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a reflexive response through repeated pairings. Pavlov demonstrated this by pairing a bell (neutral stimulus) with food (unconditioned stimulus), leading to the dog salivating (unconditioned response). Over time, the bell alone caused the dog to salivate, showing a learned response.

What is the aim of the experiment for Pavlov salivating dogs experiment?

Pavlov's experiment was an experiment of classical conditioning. Everyone knows that when a dog sees food it salivates. In Pavlov's experiment, he rang a bell every time he gave food to his dogs. Eventually, Pavlov found that even when he rang the bell, but did not give his dogs food, they would still salivate. The dogs had become conditioned to expect food when they heard the bell. Therefore, even if there was no food given, they would still salivate at the sound of the bell. He proved that an unrelated stimulus could provoke an uncontrollable, biological response.
