Pavlov's research focused on conditioned responses, such as how a neutral stimulus (like a bell) could, through association, elicit a reflexive response (like salivation) in dogs. Children's fear responses at the sight of a needle can be seen as a similar conditioned response, where the sight of the needle (a previously neutral stimulus) becomes associated with pain (an unconditioned stimulus), leading to fear (a conditioned response).
