Pavlov (1928) described the establishment of a conditioned salivary secretion to a non-specific stimulus as a “temporary connection” between the center responding to the conditioned stimulus (for example, the auditory "'center"' 'when a metronone was used) and that responding to the unconditioned stimulus, i.e. the “food center”. Since stimulation of the food center results normally in salivation, this same response may be produced by any stimulus which in turn activates the food center. A connection so formed is, in the true sense of Pavlov’s term, conditional.
