Pavlov discovered classical conditioning, a learning process in which an association is made between a previously neutral stimulus and a stimulus that naturally evokes a response. This discovery was made during his research on the digestive system of dogs, where he observed that dogs would start to salivate not only when they tasted food but also when they saw the lab assistant who fed them, indicating that the presence of the assistant (a neutral stimulus) had become associated with the food (a stimulus that naturally evokes salivation).
