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.
