Who performed the experiment of conditioning the dogs to secrete saliva on ringing of bells?
Correct answer: C. Pavlov
- A. Kohler
- B. Uexkull
- C. Pavlov
- D. Lorenz
Explanation
Pavlov conditioned the dogs to secrete saliva on the ringing of the bell, which is not a normal stimulus for the secretion of saliva. In his experiments, he would ring the bell just before giving food to the dogs, so the dogs became conditioned to a secondary stimulus or conditioned stimulus (ringing of a bell) and started secreting saliva in response to it as if it were a natural stimulus.

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.
