Ivan Pavlov and John B. Watson

1. What was Pavlov actually studying when he developed his theory of classical conditioning?
- Ivan was born in Russia. He started his higher education at the Ryazan Ecclesiastical Seminary, later on his years he dropped out of here and enrolled in the University of Saint Petersburg to study the natural sciences and became a physiologist.

2. Explain (in detail) how Pavlov's experiment was conducted.
- Pavlow experimented on animals and mostly on dogs. He had a couple of dogs which he has been testing on. He tested the dogs salivation each time the dog knew that the food was aproching the dog started to salivate more and more.

3. Identify the conditioned stimulus, the unconditioned stimulus and the conditioned response from Pavlov's experiment.
- The neutral stimulus that would never alter the dog is known as condition stimulus.

4. Explain what extinction means in relation to classical conditioning.
- Extinction occurs when a conditioned response decrease or disappear. This happens when a conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with an unconditioned stimulus.

5. Explain what stimulus generalization means in relation to classical conditioning.
-when the tendency for the conditioned stimulus to suggest similar responds for the ones who have been conditioned, this is the stimulus generalization, in a classical condition.

6. Explain what sstimulus discrimination means in relation to classical conditioning.
- Discrimination is being able to differentiate between a conditioned stimulus and other stimuli that are similar to it.

7. Explain at least two limitations of this experiment.
- The limitations are that he did the experiment only with dogs and it required a surgical procedure.

8. Explain what Pavlov theorized about how we learn.
-Pavlov theory was that when a neutral stimulus is connected with a neutral, the neutral is learned by providing the natural stimulus that causes the responds of the neutral.
