Which Animals Were Used In Psychological Experiments By Pavlov?

Ivan Pavlov worked with dogs in his psychology experiments. This Russian scientist was originally studying digestion, but noticed dogs salivated at feeding signals, not just food

. This led to his big discovery: conditioned reflexes.

Pavlov trained dogs to link a neutral stimulus (like a bell

) with food. Eventually, they’d drool at the sound alone, no food needed

. This showed learning happens through association, not just conscious thought
