Question

Gilberto Hernandez · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The trained salivary responses in Pavlon's experiments are referred to as conditional reflexes. This is because they were learned responses to a previously neutral stimulus (the bell) that became associated with an unconditioned stimulus (food), resulting in a conditioned response (salivation). While Pavlov also used unconditioned stimuli (food) and reflexes (salivation), the learned responses are specifically referred to as conditional or conditioned reflexes.
