Pavlov's Experiment

Ivan Pavlov is a ____________ scientist who won a Nobel Prize on Physiology and Medicine.

• German

• British

• Russian

• American

Ivan Pavlov was initially interested in a research on ______________ and ____________________.

• dogs, food

• dogs, behavior

• digestion, salivary glands

• dogs, digestion

What was the strange thing that happen during his experiment on digestion and salivary glands of dogs?

• The dogs salivated when food was presented.

• The dogs ate the food.

• The dogs salivated before food was presented.

• The dogs barked.

When he saw such reaction, Pavlov decided to conduct a research to systematically varying the _____________________.

• stimuli and measuring the dogs' reaction.

• dogs' reaction.

• stimuli.

• food and the dogs' action.

During the research, Pavlov discovered a fundamental type of learning known as __________________.

• Classical Conditioner

• Classical Conditioning

• Operant Conditioning

• Conditioning

When an original stimulus elicits an automatic unlearned response (i.e. stimulus and response happen naturally), they are called ______________________.

• unconditioned

• unconditioned stimulus (UCS) and unconditioned response (UCR)

• conditioned stimulus (CS) and conditioned response (CR)

• conditioned

If the neutral stimulus (e.g. bell) is presented alone and response occurs as if the food is there, we can say that _____________.

• the dogs are getting used to it

• the conditioning has taken place

• the dogs like the sound of a bell

• the dogs like to salivate

From the experiment, we can sum up that learning occurs through interactions with the environment and the environment shapes _________________.

• intelligence

• behavior

• personality

• dogs
