Abstract
Pavlov used two unconditioned stimuli: a food stimulus, which produced a positive reflex, and an acid stimulus, which produced a negative one. In several experiments, the salivary secretion was conditioned to metronome beats, to the sight of geometrical figures and letters, to cutaneous stimuli, and to the odor of camphor. A conditioned reflex occurs when an object is placed in the mouth of the dog and its properties excite the simple reflex apparatus of the salivary glands.
