frequencies & expected frequencies due to chance; <.05 is significant
Classical Conditioning (Pavlov) - ANS-learning occurs as a result of pairing previously neutral
(conditioned) stimulus with an unconditioned (involuntary) stimulus
US (food) = UR (salivation)
US (food) + CS (bell) = UR (salivation)
