A search on google turns up
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/databank/entries/bhpavl.html as a first
hit, which provides rather relevant information.
A small extract:
The work that made Pavlov a household name in psychology actually
began as a study in digestion. He was looking at the digestive process
in dogs, especially the interaction between salivation and the action
of the stomach. He realized they were closely linked by reflexes in
the autonomic nervous system. Without salivation, the stomach didn't
get the message to start digesting. Pavlov wanted to see if external
stimuli could affect this process, so he rang a bell at the same time
he gave the experimental dogs food. After a while, the dogs -- which
before only salivated when they saw and ate their food -- would begin
to salivate when the bell rang, even if no food were present.
Cheers,
Johannes.
