Final answer:

In Pavlov's experiments with dogs, the bell was the conditioned stimulus (CS), while the salivation was the conditioned response (CR).

Step-by-step explanation:

In Pavlov's experiments with dogs, the bell was the conditioned stimulus (CS) while the salivation was the conditioned response (CR).

Pavlov would sound a tone (bell) and then give the dogs meat powder, which naturally caused salivation. After repeated pairings of the bell and the meat powder, the dogs started to salivate when they heard the bell alone.

This experiment demonstrated classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus (bell) became associated with an unconditioned stimulus (meat powder) to elicit a conditioned response (salivation).
