Dogs were never "discovered", they evolved from wolfs, meaning they have always been around-- but different groups of people discovered them at different times (due to geographic location)--a wolf is obviously not going to be on a Caribbean island or in the middle of a desert. Humans and wolfs eventually found that life was better together (however, when taming these wild animals, ancient humans would not keep wolves that showed signs of aggression). Over time, the evolved into the familiar breeds of dogs we see every day.

Who was Classical conditioning was discovered by?

Classical conditioning was discovered by Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov in the early 20th century. He famously demonstrated how dogs could associate a bell ringing with food, leading to conditioned responses.


How The Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov discovered that?

Ivan Pavlov discovered classical conditioning during his research on the digestive systems of dogs. He noticed that the dogs began to salivate not only when food was presented but also in response to stimuli associated with feeding, such as the sound of a bell. This led him to experiment with pairing the sound of a bell with the presentation of food, demonstrating that the dogs could learn to associate the bell with food, thus salivating in anticipation. His findings laid the groundwork for understanding behavioral conditioning in psychology.
