To condition a dog to salivate, Pavlov:

a. recreated its keeper's footsteps after the dog smelled food.
b. rang the bell shortly before the dog smelled food.
c. rang the bell after the dog smelled food.
d. recreated its keeper's footsteps before the dog smelled food.


ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Pavlov sounded a bell shortly before feeding a dog. At first, the dog salivated only in response to the food and not to the bell because the bell had no meaning. However, after a number of pairings of the bell followed by the food, the dog began to salivate at the sound of the bell. Thus, the dog had been conditioned, or trained, to respond to the bell.
