     • Pavlov's Dogs
       • To test if Pavlov's dogs could be made to produce saliva even when there wasn't food around
         • Originally thought it was the sound of the footsteps that made the dogs produce saliva
       • Rang a bell, dog didn't salivate. Then rang the bell and straight after gave the dogs food.
         • This is the conditioning process that uses association and he repeated this over and over
