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.
The aim of Pavlov's experiment was to investigate classical conditioning, specifically studying how dogs could be conditioned to associate a neutral stimulus (such as a bell) with the presentation of food, leading to the dogs salivating to the bell even when food was not present.
An experiment involves intentionally manipulating variables to observe the effect on a phenomenon, while an observation involves simply witnessing and recording a phenomenon without intervention. Experiments aim to establish cause-and-effect relationships, whereas observations focus on describing and documenting patterns or behaviors.
a. Naturalistic observation involves observing and recording behavior in a natural setting without interference or manipulation by the researcher. It does not aim to recreate natural conditions in a laboratory setting.
Propaganda techniques aim to manipulate people's emotions, beliefs, and behaviors in order to spread a certain message or influence public opinion. These techniques often use biased or misleading information to sway individuals towards a specific agenda or viewpoint.
Psychology is defined as the scientific study of the mind and behavior. It explores various aspects of human cognition, emotions, development, and disorders, with the aim of understanding and explaining individual and group behavior.
To make a good first impression on a classmate, be friendly, approachable, and attentive. Show interest in getting to know them by asking questions, smiling, and being respectful. Aim to be genuine and positive in your interactions.
To see whether the dogs would learn to associate the ringing of the bell, with the receiving of the food.
It is the "aim"
An experiment should be designed to answer a specific question.
The aim
Type your answer here... Hypothesis is your guess/prediction to the results of an experiment and also in relation to the aim of the experiment.

Aim of an experiment to show that starch is produced in the presence of sunlight
The aim is the goal of the experiment, for example, you may be turning milk into plastic. So the aim is to turn milk into plastic. The hypothesis is what you THINK will happen. So you might think that the milk will turn into a substance quite unlike plastic. So the aim can be quite different to a hypothesis, or very similar!
Your hypothesis is like a good guess or prediction of what you expect to find from carrying out your experiment - in other words, it is like an answer to your aim.
find out the aim of the experiment first.
The procedure of an experiment is the step-by-step sequence, usually written down, that describes what will be done during the experiment. The aim, or objective, of the experiment, is to prove or disprove the hypothesis which was formulated in order to run the experiment. Alternatively, the objective can be to measure something, such as the torque / horsepower curve of a motor as a function of input power.
If you are writing a practical report it can be very small! Often the aim is, simply stated, the hypothesis you are trying to test.
