Because pavlov would feed the dog right after the tone. The dog came to understand that the tone meant food was coming, and would salivate in anticipation.
Pavlov used classical conditioning. Initially, every time he rang the bell, he would give the dog food. The dog began associating the sound of the bell with receiving food. He was then able to ring the bell and make the dog salivate (thinking that it was going to be fed).
Ivan Pavlov was a Russian psychologist who is famously known for his conditioning experiment involving a dog and a bell. What he did was train the dog to salivate by ringing a bell. To do so, Pavlov would place food in front of the dog, and ring the bell. Thus, the dog would salivate at the sight of the food and subconsciously at the sound of the bell. Through conditioning, Pavlov was able to repeat the process until the dog became accustomed to hearing the sound of the bell, and ultimately when the dog heard the bell ring, it would begin to salivate as it had learned to associate the sound of the bell with food, and food resulted in its salivation
Stimulus Generalization
A stimulus is an action or procedure used to gain a suitable response.A stimulus generalisation is when the stimulus can be generalised to a similar stimulus and still gain the same response.Example, A bell rings at a certain tone and a dog salivates, if the bell rang at a higher or lower tone the dog may still salivate. SO therefore have a generalised stimulus.A stimulus discrimination is when the participant can discriminate between stimulus ad therefore weaken the effect of the stimulus on the required response.Example, A dog is given increasingly different sounding bells from the original meaning the stimulus will have a decreased effect and eventually will not the response at all.
An unconditioned stimulus UCS is stimuli or anything that brings out a reaction that is innate, not learned, automatic, etc.A conditioned stimulus CS is a once neutral or unrelated stimulus that has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus, which after training and learning signals the conditioned response.Take a dog for example. A dog will salivate at the sight of food, salivation is the unconditioned stimulus, dogs don't learn how to drool they just do. Then pair the sight of food with the ringing of a bell, once unrelated, and the dog will learn to associate the bell with food and will therefore salivate. And the bell becomes the conditioned stimulus.For more information/source go to Exploring Psychology by David Myers
There is no tone that causes a dog to salivate; you need to train a particular dog to do that as it is a learned behavior. You might want to read about the apparently not-so-famous experiment by Ivan Pavlov.
conditioned stimulus
Conditioned stimulus
no worries, it probably is just because the dog sees food that he or she really wants.
