Pavlov would ring a bell then feed his dogs. He did this for a long time. Then whenever he would ring the bell his dogs would begin to salivate (drool) in anticipation of their food. Basically, he trained his dogs so that they associated the sound of the bell with receiving their food, and therefore whenever they heard a bell they anticipated food and began to drool.
It's "conditioned" response, not "unconditional." Conditioned means that they would just give that response naturally, not like "trained" behavior in which the dog would know that "sit" meant he should sit down, and then do it voluntarily. The dog was not thinking, "OK, there's a bell, so that means I should drool now." The drooling (salivating) would happen all by itself. I mean, a human can sit on purpose, right? but you can't drool on purpose, except by thinking about food.
The bell ringing is called a conditioned stimulus, while the meat powder is an unconditioned stimulus. The process by which the dogs learned to salivate in response to the bell alone is known as classical conditioning.
Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist, was the first biologist to demonstrate classical conditioning in dogs. He famously showed that dogs could learn to associate a neutral stimulus, like the sound of a bell, with a reflex response, like salivating for food, through repeated pairings of the two stimuli.
There were 60 of them that had names, http://web.archive.org/web/20030429054601/http://www.cshl.edu/PDogs/ you can see the 60 names and photos of some of them at the website above. You can also see an article about Dr Tully who discovered the names from this article in Current Biology 2003 http://www.cshl.edu/Archive/pavlovs-flies-researchers-identify-fruit-fly-memory-mutants .

Ivan Pavlov is the scientist known for conducting experiments with dogs and a bell to study classical conditioning, which demonstrated how an association between a stimulus (bell) and a specific response (salivating) can be learned over time. His work laid the foundation for understanding how behaviors can be influenced and modified through conditioning.
In the beginning, Ivan Pavlov's purpose of the experiment was to study the dog's digestive system. He, however, swifted to another purpose once he noticed that the dogs salivated when they saw his lab assistant (who fed them) even when he didn't have food with him.
The term that defines the dogs' salivation in response to only the ringing of the bell is "conditioned response." This means that the dogs have learned to associate the bell with food, leading to salivation even when food is not present.
Yes, Ivan Pavlov was researching classical conditioning at the time of its discovery. His famous experiment with dogs, where he conditioned them to salivate at the sound of a bell, led to the development of classical conditioning as a psychological concept.
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.
