Dog salivating at the ringing of a bell is associated with what type of behavior:
Correct answer: A. Classical conditioning
- A. Classical conditioning
- B. Operant conditioning
- C. Imprinting
- D. Habituation
Explanation
This is the correct answer. Classical conditioning involves associating an involuntary response with a stimulus that doesn't usually trigger that response. In the famous experiment by Ivan Pavlov, a dog's salivation to food (an involuntary response) was paired with the ringing of a bell (a neutral stimulus). Over time, the dog learned to associate the bell with food and began salivating at the sound of the bell alone.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
