At first this was something of a nuisance (not to mention messy!). Pavlovian Conditioning Pavlov (1902) started from the idea that there are some things that a dog does not need to learn. Unconditioned Stimulus (Food) > Unconditioned Response (Salivate) Pavlov showed the existence of the unconditioned response by presenting a dog with a bowl of food and the measuring its salivary secretions (see image below).

What can one learn from a smile? What have evolutionary, cross-cultural and social psychological research contributed to our understanding of the smile? Is it preposterous to suggest there is (or ever could be) a science of smiling? Smiles may be natural or faked. Surprisingly the smiling or laughing face is often not very different from the howling or tearful face. Genuine laughter increases breathing, while lowering blood pressure and heart rate. The “science of smiling” as such was initiated by Charles Darwin.
Darwin also observed that smiling and laughter often occurred together and therefore had similar origins.
