Direct observations are things you see directly. For instance, if there are 10 ants walking on a table, and you count the ten ants, you can say that you have directly observed 10 ants.
here is a indirect observation so you know also
Indirect observations are ones which you do not see directly but infer from another observation. A good example is animal tracks. You may see, for instance, paw tracks in the sand. You did not see the dog that made those tracks, but you know he was there because the tracks are there. In this case you have indirectly observed the dog.

Pavlov taught a dog to salivate at the sound of a ticking metronome by repeatedly pairing the ticking metronome with food. In th

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

neutral stimulus; conditioned stimulus

Explanation:

In Pavlov's classical conditioning, before conditioning takes place, a neutral stimulus does not really elicit a response other than serving to secure attention. The metronome, before conditioning, does not elicit salivation in dogs ordinary, except for focusing of attention. Food naturally elicits salivation in dog, and is referred to as an unconditioned stimulus.

Conditioning takes place when the ticking metronome is paired with an unconditioned stimulus such as food, in order to produce the same response of salivation that food produces. After conditioning, the presentation of the ticking metronome will elicit salivation. After conditioning, we refer to the ticking metronome as a conditioned stimulus.

The ticking metronome is the neutral stimulus before conditioning, and the conditioned stimulus after conditioning.
