Answer: option B) discovered this learning process through intuition.
Explanation:
Ivan Pavlov's research findings were based on coincidence i.e happened by chance, not exactly intended.
The classical conditioning research were as follows:
- He observed that the mouth of a dog became wet when given food
- He also noticed that ringing a bell before giving the dog its food made it salivate
- Then, the dog associated the bell with the food, salivating always when a bell is rung.
Thus, Pavlov's learning process were unintended, absolutely accidental and discovered by intuition rather than logic. Thus, the statement that it contained an element of serendipity
