Conditioned Stimulus (CS)

In classical conditioning, an originally neutral stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (US), comes to trigger a conditioned response (CR).

Pavlov's Experiments

A series of studies conducted by Ivan Pavlov that demonstrated classical conditioning, where dogs learned to associate a neutral stimulus (bell) with an unconditioned stimulus (food), leading to a conditioned response (salivating).

Salivary Conditioning

A form of classical conditioning where an automatic and natural response, like salivation, is trained to respond to a previously neutral stimulus.
