Pavlov, does that name ring a bell? 

This week, Mrs Hooper’s year 11/12 Psychology class developed their understanding of classical conditioning by using each other as test subjects. The class were randomly allocated to the ‘experimenter group’ or ‘test subject’ group. The experimenters repeatedly ‘administered’ Wizz Fizz at the sound of bell in a bid to classical condition the test subjects to salivate. The students said that participating in the fun and frivolous experiment helped them to begin understanding the process of classical conditioning.
