4. Introduction – Pavlov’s dog Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was a famous Russian physiologist Pavlov's dog are classical conditioning experiments using dogs by the Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov

5. Introduction – Pavlov’s dog Three phases of the experiment (1) before learning phase: the output of the circuit, which will be used to simulate the strength of salivation, will generate value only associated with the food visual input signal but not with the ringing bell sound input signal. (2) learning phase: when a bell was rung in subsequent time with food being presented to the dog in consecutive sequences, the dog will initially salivate when the food is presented. The dog will later come to associate the ringing of the bell with the presentation of the food and salivate upon the ringing of the bell. (3) after learning phase: the output of the circuit will generate value associated with both the food visual input signal and the ringing bell sound input signal.
