In Ivan Pavlov’s famous experiments conditioning dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell, timing mattered. The quicker the food followed the bell, the stronger the dog’s response the next time it rang ...

Around the beginning of the 20th century, Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov taught dogs to associate doggie dinner with the sound of a bell — and so trained them to reflexively salivate when they heard ...

Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov famously trained the canines in his experiments to salivate in response to the sound of a bell, which was a showcase of classical conditioning. These days, robotics ...

Classical conditioning, sometimes referred to as Pavlovian conditioning, is one of the most well-known concepts in psychology. It can be described as the concept of learning through association, and ...

The blog posts I’ve written so far have mostly focused on fairly recent films, such as Twilight or Harry Potter. But today, I want to write about a classic film that used, appropriately enough, ...

Physicists have developed a dynamical model of animal behavior that may explain some mysteries surrounding associative learning going back to Pavlov’s dogs. The Proceedings of the National Academy of ...

A new study, led by Makoto Mizunami and colleagues at Tohoku University in Japan, demonstrates classical conditioning of salivation in cockroaches, for the first time in species other than dogs and ...
