Delayed conditioning involves presenting the neutral stimulus (bell ringing in this case) first, and then introducing the unconditioned stimulus (food) after a short delay. In Pavlov's experiment, the bell ringing (neutral stimulus) preceded the presentation of food (unconditioned stimulus) with a short delay, leading to the dogs eventually salivating at the sound of the bell alone (conditioned stimulus).
