Pavlov’s dog refers to a famous experiment by Ivan Pavlov, where he conditioned dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell by repeatedly pairing the bell with the presentation of food. This experiment demonstrated the concept of classical conditioning, showing how a neutral stimulus can trigger a conditioned response after being associated with an unconditioned stimulus.

In real life, I would have loved dogs tearing up Pavlov after reading what he actually did

He did some vivisection based experiments on dogs that were kind of horrific iirc
Dang, that’s whack!
When a human recognizes patterns with meaning it’s ‘learning’. When an animal does it it’s ‘conditioning’
Don’t worry it’s also conditioning when a minority learns something.
