That's just thought association, classical (pavlovian) conditioning is about a conditioned stimulus creating a learned response, not a thought, eg if you were to be shudder every time you heard 'Pavlov' because you thought of dogs.
Way to ruin the fun, poindexter
Oh that’s just JackGreenEarth’s conditioned response
If I start to salivate in sympathetic parallel to the imagined hungry dogs, does that count?
Yes
Not everyone thinks of dog, there's a bit of a bell curve.
Pavlova.jpg
What else do there Pavlov?
I thought of the VR shooter Pavlov shack first.
I also thought of that one.
For anyone curious it's Counter Strike in VR, basically.
That’s pretty normal. Like, less than sigma.
So Pavlov was sitting in a bar, having a nice cold beer. As the next person came in, the door caused a bell to ring. Pavlov panics: "Oh no! I forgot to feed the dog!"
Pavlov is the Dr, not the dog.
What? Yeah, I know. A dog sitting at a bar having a beer would be a different joke. Read my joke again.
I know, I'm trying to make the Frankenstein joke
If you watch the movie, you'll see that the real monster is Dr Frankenstein.
The real doctor is the monsters we met along the way.
Actually Frankenstein was the incense scent
Next you'll be telling me that Schrödinger wasn't a cat
How can you know if he was or if he wasn’t a cat?
Frankenstein is the monster?
Wait, the princess is Zelda?!
i actually think of a bell. sometimes i think of drool.
There's a dog?!
My daughter was watching Bluey the other day, and Bingo wanted some "Pavlova". I immediately thought it was some reference to them all being dogs and Pavlov.
Nope. Turns out it's actually a dessert named after a Russian ballerina that originated in either New Zealand or Australia in the early 20th century.
I think if any Australians see you you are in deep trouble!
Is Pavlova a national Australian treasure or something? Wikipedia seems unsure as to whether it originated in New Zealand or Australia.
I once read that reverse pavlovianism is the application of saliva to a dog's mouth in the attempt to ring a bell.
That's not what pavlovian conditioning is though??
Sure it is, strong association through repetition.
I always think of the VR game these days
I think of a VR-only shooter where all the kids try to climb on me because I'm usually the tallest motherfucker in the game.
That's just how words work
Actually, Pavlov WAS the dog. Pavlov's dogs were his friends, who accompanied him on his adventure to find a bell and drool on it.
Wife forget his name the other day..
'the Russian dude. Poblob. Polbob.. Palbob... The dog guy.' 'oh pavlov' 'yeah whatever, close enough'

I always add an 'a' to the end and wish I could buy pavlova in the USA.
I first heard of Pavlov from the game incredible machines, where if you dangle a banana in front of a mandrill (looks like a baboon to 6 year old me) he would run on the treadmill giving you power for your machines. So I always think of a baboon when I hear pavlov.
And a bell
And then I start to drool!
Why is my mouth watering?
I feel like im on the outside of a big joke or something. Why do people think of a dog?
edit: nevermind. my wife just explained it.
