- 86. Pavlov Con’t:Famous for his Salivating (drooling) Dog ExperimentWhen he would jingle his keys the dogs would begin to droolThis is an example of conditioning because the sound of the keys and the food are unrelated, but when paired together many times, the dogs associated the sound of keys with feedingSame thing happens when a cat hears the can opener and comes running
