The experimental animaI used by Pavlov for studying conditioned reflex was _
Correct answer: B. Dog
- A. Rat
- B. Dog
- C. Goose
- D. Chimpanzee
Explanation
Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist, used dogs as experimental animals to study conditioned reflexes. He conducted experiments where he would ring a bell before feeding the dogs. Eventually, the dogs associated the sound of the bell with food and would salivate in response to the bell alone, even without the presence of food. This demonstrated the process of classical conditioning. Pavlov's work with dogs provided valuable insights into learning and behavior.

About Reflexes and the Reflex Arc
A reflex arc shows how a rapid, automatic response travels from a receptor through a sensory neuron, relay neuron and motor neuron to an effector. The topic covers synapses, the spinal cord's role, and the difference between an involuntary reflex action and a slower voluntary response.
