Pavlov's Dog

In this game, you will find out if you can train a dog to drool on command! Ivan Pavlov's description on how animals (and humans) can be trained to respond in a certain way to a particular stimulus, has drawn a tremendous amount of interest ever since he first presented his findings. His work paved the way for a new and objective method of studying animal and human behavior.

Johnlenin...the article specifically mentions Pavlov's dog to demonstrate the silliness of the argument that the stimulus-response in this case in any demonstrates a genetic cause. You are right on the money.
