If we use the famous experiment carried out by the founder of classical conditioning, Ivan Pavlov, we find that the UCS would be food in the dogÆs mouth, the UCR would be salivation, the CS would be the bellÆs tone, and the salvation associated with the bellÆs tone is the CR. Classical conditioning is a form of learning but it is also a form of behavioral change.
