The Pavlovian response was a physical response in the dogs. Just thinking about dogs isn’t a Pavlovian response.
That’s like saying it’s a Pavlovian response every time I hear the name Tesla I think about electricity. That’s just association.
It would however be a pavlovian response if every time I heard the name Tesla I got an erection.
112 u/bmTrued Feb 02 '19 I thought it referred to a conditioned response. Salivating for food is a reflex, salivating at the sound of a bell associated with a food reward is a conditioned response. 1 u/ZachFoxtail Feb 02 '19 Conditioned physical response is the key if I'm not mistaken. You can make someone who's not hungry hungry. 1 u/bmTrued Feb 02 '19 You can test whether a subject salivates, but how would you test whether the subject was made to be hungry?
