Pavlov noticed that after a number of trials, the dogs began to salivate to the sound of the tone alone, without the presence of food. This is known as classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus (in this case, the tone) becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus (food) and eventually elicits a conditioned response (salivation).
