I mean, no joke, a dog whining/ begging is conditioning you.
I am a dog.
I beg. You give me food. I look cute.
I beg. You don't give me food. I cry.
Next time I beg, will you give me the food?
Probably.
After that: I look cute. You give me food.
Congratulations, you've just been conditioned by your dog, buuuuut you get a cute dog, lmao.
147I seem to remember reading that domesticated dogs evolved more expressive eyebrows that proved to be a survival advantage in this process.

That is super neat, you're right! It was bread into them due to human preference.

Too bad it's not Pavlovian conditioning afaik
2Why not? They're using elements of conditioning, and than conditioning, based on the Pavlonian model.

Replace every instance of dog with cat and you've got the reason I give out treats at night before I start cleaning dishes.

The correct answer is
Fuck Pavlov
Motherfucker is like the Hitler of dogs. It's a shame his name is remembered for the conditioning and not the mutilation. Dude was a monster.
83Wait really? Ive never been told about this
29Yeah, he cut holes in their throats so food would fall out and added additional holes along the digestive tract to collect various "gastric juices". He also, apparently, started a business harvesting and selling said juices as a cure for indigestion..... not sure how that worked, seems like it would cause more than it cured.

I guess Piccolo was right to curse out Pavlov.
1But the mutilation was part of the research I thought

Such an existential question in so few words.
37Or.. it's just an obvious "yes"...

There is a joke about that:
Pavlov is sitting in a bar enjoying his beer. The phone rings. Pavlov jumps up: "Damn! I forgot to feed the dogs!"
33My dog trained me to get him water by lifting the toilet bowl lid. He doesn’t want to drink out of it, but he knows I’ll get up to stop him and check his water on the way. Now he’ll lift the lid then go stand by the water dish.
28Alternatively: your dog has learned how to effectively communicate with you to ask for water.

Pavlov's dog is not notable for showing that dogs could be conditioned (bell = food time)
What it did was show that a conditional response (bell = food time) could cause a reflexive response (saliva)
Classical conditioning is not the same as associative learning.
Pavlov's dog is not about associating Thing A with Thing B - that didn't need a russian scientist to prove.
23I didn't know that! Also apparently the Barenaked Ladies had it right when they wrote Brian Wilson:
It's a matter of instinct
It's a matter of conditioning and a matter of fact
You can call me Pavlov's Dog
Ring a bell and I'll salivate

What's haunting about this question?
14i suppose it's that his intent was to train (essentially to control) something apart from himself, but he likely trained himself in the process (created something within himself that he did not control, at least for as long as the response was conditioned).
14Assuming he was conditioned by the sound of the bell. Which might not be the case.

Fuck, damn. 🤔

Jeremy Parish, probably, @gamespite
Out of nowhere, my nephew just asked, "Do you think Pavlov thought about feeding his dog every time he heard a bell ring?" and now I'm going to be haunted by this question
