Pavlov started from the idea that there are some things that a dog does not need to learn. In behaviorist terms , food is an unconditioned stimulus and salivation is an unconditioned response. In his experiment, Pavlov used a metronome as his neutral stimulus. By itself the metronome did not elecit a response from the dogs.
Next, Pavlov began the conditioning procedure, whereby the clicking metronome was introduced just before he gave food to his dogs. After a number of repeats trials of this procedure he presented the metronome on its own.
As you might expect, the sound of the clicking metronome on its own now caused an increase in salivation. So the dog had learned an association between the metronome and the food and a new behavior had been learned. Because this response was learned or conditioned , it is called a conditioned response and also known as a Pavlovian response.
The neutral stimulus has become a conditioned stimulus. Pavlov found that for associations to be made, the two stimuli had to be presented close together in time such as a bell. He called this the law of temporal contiguity. If the time between the conditioned stimulus bell and unconditioned stimulus food is too great, then learning will not occur. Pavlov and his studies of classical conditioning have become famous since his early work between Classical conditioning is the process in which an automatic, conditioned response is paired with specific stimuli.
Although Edwin Twitmyer published findings pertaining to classical conditioning one year earlier, the best-known and most thorough work on classical conditioning is accredited to Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist born in the mids.
Pavlov had such a great impact on the study of classical conditioning that it is often referred to as Pavlovian conditioning. Classical conditioning was stumbled upon by accident. At first, the dogs would only salivate when the food was placed in front of them. However, later they salivated slightly before their food arrived. Pavlov realized that they were salivating at the noises that were consistently present before the food arrived; for example, the sound of a food cart is approaching.
To test his theory, Pavlov set up an experiment in which he rang a bell shortly before presenting food to the dogs. Despite the clinical efficacy of these studies, it should be noted that each individual can have a different treatment plan that is optimal to only them. Some people might respond better to only therapy or medications rather than a combination of both. Furthermore, combination treatments can be more of a "mix and match" treatment where two patients can have similar amounts of treatment success but use different medications and therapy options.
Classical conditioning concepts are integrated into the design of health-related interventions i. The interprofessional healthcare team consists of diagnosticians, medication experts, prescribers, and other members who tend to the everyday needs of the patient. Cohesiveness and communication become especially important for the extinguishing of addictive behaviors such as drug use, smoking, or drinking alcohol.
Since relapse is always a possibility, proper protocols should be in place to help re-extinguish the behavior if necessary. However, these protocols mainly depend on the patient's honesty and willingness to seek out help. Additionally, the interprofessional team can increase conditioning success by involving the patient's friends and family. They not only provide emotional support for the patient but can also provide updates to the interprofessional team when needed.

Function Pavlov recorded several phenomena associated with classical conditioning. Issues of Concern People can use classical conditioning to exploit others for their gain.
Clinical Significance Most psychologists now agree that classical conditioning is a basic form of learning. Other Issues A combination of both behavior modification therapy with medications can lead to better clinical outcomes than if either option is used alone.
