Sounds and Pavlov Responses

[gk10012001]

Most of you have heard of Pavlov and his experiments and writings on how dogs responded to certain sounds or stimulus.  I myself so love walking into a 7-11 and hearing that little door bell chime.  Gosh it is ingrained in me.  When I watch a video and I hear that, I am instantly mentally transported back to Thailand.

 

Other sounds:  Thai ladies speaking in descending tones.  So soothing.  I recently went to the Wat Thai in Dallas Texas several times.  They have a pretty good sized outdoor food court with 7  or 8 food stalls.  So great to hear the Thai ladies speak. Some chanting sounds.  I swear I can smell the incense from here while 11,000 miles from Thailand.  The sound of the PA system on the BTS announcing upcoming stops.

How about your feeling  for the sounds when you hear the same thai ladies getting their tantrums with the traditional yakyak sounds, and the silence following the episode?

I like the sound of music from a radio or sound system drifting across several rice fields in the central plains (no mountains in the way), somewhere like Chachoengsao or Ayuthaya. The sound carries a long way. But it is too far away to be annoying. Very evocative.

So, according to Classical Conditioning....

 

In Thailand, you first have the stimulus....

 

 

And then, salivation....

 

 

This is what happens near most Sevens.

In Pattaya.
