|| A short synopsis of Pavlov's experiment: " In 1906 Pavlov cut holes in dogs' cheeks and inserted tubes to measure salivation. A bell was rung just before food was given to the dogs, and after a period of time it was observed that the ringing of the bell alone would increase the rate of the dogs' salivation. These reflexes constituted the basis of animal behavior." (Sntp.net)
