He would give a dog some food and measure the amount of saliva the dog produced while it ate the meal. After the dog has gone through this procedure a few times, however it would begin to salivate before getting any food. Pavlov reasoned that some new sitmulus, such as the experimenter in his white coat, had become associated with the food and produced the response of salivation in the dog. Pavlov spent the rest of his life studying this basic type of associtative learning, which in now called classical conditioning or Pavolvian conditioning.
