I get the feeling that “Pavlov’s reaction’ is a load of bollocks
As dogs drool at just about anything involving food in a millisecond.

conditioned v unconditioned response
Pavolv noticed that dogs started to drool at the sight of the white-coated lab technicians that fed them, which was learnt (conditioned) behaviour, as opposed to an innate biological behaviour (all dogs slobber at the sight or scent of food). Went on to prove it with bells, etc.
He was a bit of a monster, killing vast numbers of dogs and other animals in his research.
