PAVLOV, Ivan
(1849-1936). Although he was a brilliant physiologist and a skillful surgeon, Ivan Pavlov
is remembered primarily for his development of the concept of conditioned reflex. In a
well-known experiment he trained a hungry dog to salivate at the sound of a bell. The bell
had previously become associated by the dog with the sight of food. Pavlov's
work laid a foundation for the scientific analysis of human behavior. In 1904 he was
awarded the Nobel prize for physiology or medicine for his work on digestive secretions.
Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was born in Ryazan', Russia, on
Sept. 26, 1849. He attended a church school and later a theological seminary. In 1870 he
abandoned his religious studies to go to the University of St. Petersburg to study
chemistry and physiology. He received his doctorate in medicine from the Imperial Medical
Academy in 1879 and pursued further schooling in Germany at Leipzig and Breslau. From 1888
to 1890 Pavlov investigated the structure of the human heart and the
regulation of blood pressure. From 1890 to 1924 he was professor of physiology at the
Imperial Medical Academy.
The years from 1890 to 1900 were spent analyzing the secretory activity
of digestion in animals. Through his observations Pavlov was able to
formulate the laws of conditioned reflex (see Reflexes).
This subject occupied much of his time until 1930. After 1930 he began to apply his laws
to the study of the human mental illnesses called neuroses and psychoses.
