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

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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_conditioning

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.
