Pavlov observed that dogs began to salivate at the sound of a bell or other stimulus that was previously associated with the presentation of food. This led to the development of classical conditioning as a model of learning, where a neutral stimulus (the sound of the bell) becomes associated with a meaningful stimulus (the presentation of food) and thus elicits a response (salivation) that was previously only elicited by the meaningful stimulus.
