That's just thought association, classical (pavlovian) conditioning is about a conditioned stimulus creating a learned response, not a thought, eg if you were to be shudder every time you heard 'Pavlov' because you thought of dogs.

Way to ruin the fun, poindexter

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Oh that’s just JackGreenEarth’s conditioned response

If I start to salivate in sympathetic parallel to the imagined hungry dogs, does that count?

Not everyone thinks of dog, there's a bit of a bell curve.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

at which end of the curve resides the bellends?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

That’s pretty normal. Like, less than sigma.

What else do there Pavlov?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I thought of the VR shooter Pavlov shack first.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I also thought of that one.

For anyone curious it's Counter Strike in VR, basically.

So Pavlov was sitting in a bar, having a nice cold beer. As the next person came in, the door caused a bell to ring. Pavlov panics: "Oh no! I forgot to feed the dog!"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pavlov is the Dr, not the dog.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What? Yeah, I know. A dog sitting at a bar having a beer would be a different joke. Read my joke again.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I know, I'm trying to make the Frankenstein joke

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

If you watch the movie, you'll see that the real monster is Dr Frankenstein.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

The real doctor is the monsters we met along the way.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And the creature is Adam Frankenstein

Intelligence is knowing that Frankenstein was the doctor, wisdom is understanding you don't have to repeat it every time the subject is mentioned.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Actually Frankenstein was the incense scent

Next you'll be telling me that Schrödinger wasn't a cat

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

How can you know if he was or if he wasn’t a cat?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Frankenstein is the monster?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Wait, the princess is Zelda?!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i actually think of a bell. sometimes i think of drool.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

There's a dog?!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My daughter was watching Bluey the other day, and Bingo wanted some "Pavlova". I immediately thought it was some reference to them all being dogs and Pavlov.

Nope. Turns out it's actually a dessert named after a Russian ballerina that originated in either New Zealand or Australia in the early 20th century.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I think if any Australians see you you are in deep trouble!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I only knew of the Australian connection by reading the last continent

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Is Pavlova a national Australian treasure or something? Wikipedia seems unsure as to whether it originated in New Zealand or Australia.

I once read that reverse pavlovianism is the application of saliva to a dog's mouth in the attempt to ring a bell.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

I always think of the VR game these days

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's not what pavlovian conditioning is though??

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Sure it is, strong association through repetition.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I think of a VR-only shooter where all the kids try to climb on me because I'm usually the tallest motherfucker in the game.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wife forget his name the other day..

'the Russian dude. Poblob. Polbob.. Palbob... The dog guy.' 'oh pavlov' 'yeah whatever, close enough'

I always add an 'a' to the end and wish I could buy pavlova in the USA.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Get some eggs and go crazy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

That's just how words work

And then I start to drool!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I first heard of Pavlov from the game incredible machines, where if you dangle a banana in front of a mandrill (looks like a baboon to 6 year old me) he would run on the treadmill giving you power for your machines. So I always think of a baboon when I hear pavlov.

Why is my mouth watering?
