Pavlovian Theory

First off a little something about Pavlovian theory, or classical conditioning, which is when a conditioned stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus. To make this a little more understandable it is when a behavior is strengthened or weakened depending on a certain consequence that could be a positive or negative outcome. Here is a short video of Pinky and the Brain where classical conditioning comes into play...

here we see they match a good behavior, dancing, with a positive outcome, getting to eat a piece of cheese.

If you know anything about Pavlov's studies than you already know he did an experiment with dogs placing meat powder in their mouths after ringing a bell. Eventually he had the dogs salivating when they heard the ring of the bell whether or not they even got the meat powder because of the classical conditioning. They put the good outcome of getting the meat powder by salivating when they heard the bell ring.

Here is the demonstration of how it worked.

Enough with the serious stuff here is funny comic that shows classical conditioning... this poor fella got in trouble and couldn't even help it.
