Pavlov measured the relationship between increases in stimulation and increases in response. Beginning at low level of stimulation, as Pavlov increased stimulation the dogs exhibited increases in associated responses. Eventually a point would be reached in which further increases ... decreases in responding, as if the dog's body were beginning to shut down in response to stimulation levels that were to high. T...

The father of Behaviorism, John Watson, applied Ivan Pavlov's study of stimulus and response reactions in his experiments with dogs to the learning process in humans and other organisms.
