That's just thought association, classical (pavlovian) conditioning is about a conditioned stimulus creating a learned response, not a thought, eg if you were to be shudder every time you heard 'Pavlov' because you thought of dogs.

Not everyone thinks of dog, there's a bit of a bell curve.

So Pavlov was sitting in a bar, having a nice cold beer. As the next person came in, the door caused a bell to ring. Pavlov panics: "Oh no! I forgot to feed the dog!"

i actually think of a bell. sometimes i think of drool.

My daughter was watching Bluey the other day, and Bingo wanted some "Pavlova". I immediately thought it was some reference to them all being dogs and Pavlov.

Nope. Turns out it's actually a dessert named after a Russian ballerina that originated in either New Zealand or Australia in the early 20th century.

I've retrained on Pavlov's cat

I once read that reverse pavlovianism is the application of saliva to a dog's mouth in the attempt to ring a bell.

I always think of the VR game these days

That's not what pavlovian conditioning is though??

I think of a VR-only shooter where all the kids try to climb on me because I'm usually the tallest motherfucker in the game.

Wife forget his name the other day..

'the Russian dude. Poblob. Polbob.. Palbob... The dog guy.' 'oh pavlov' 'yeah whatever, close enough'

I always add an 'a' to the end and wish I could buy pavlova in the USA.

That's just how words work

Why is my mouth watering?

Nine nine!

I first heard of Pavlov from the game incredible machines, where if you dangle a banana in front of a mandrill (looks like a baboon to 6 year old me) he would run on the treadmill giving you power for your machines. So I always think of a baboon when I hear pavlov.

And a bell

I feel like im on the outside of a big joke or something. Why do people think of a dog?

edit: nevermind. my wife just explained it.

I think of Pavlov's Daughter

This is some Mitch Headberg shit.
