Answer: Dogs displayed a reflexive response before the stimulus was presented rather than after it was presented.

During Pavlov’s experiments with the dogs, he discovered a phenomenon that eventually became known as classical conditioning?

Classical conditioning is a type of learning that happens when a person or an animal connects involuntary responses to certain stimuli other than the original natural stimulus. Pavlov discovered that Dogs displayed a reflexive response before the stimulus was presented rather than after it was presented.
