Ivan Pavlov in his laboratory
Ivan Pavlov, Russian physiologist, born Ryazan on September 14, 1849, died Leningrad on February 27, 1936, photographed (2nd from right) in his laboratory. Pavlov quit training for the priesthood to study natural science in St Petersburg. His experiments in 1889 on the mechanism of digestion in dogs established the role of the autonomic nervous system & won him a Nobel prize in 1904. He is best remembered for subsequent work on conditioned reflexes - conditioning a dog to salivate in anticipation of food by ringing a bell each meal time. Eventually, the bell alone provoked salivation. These experiments founded behaviourist psychology

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned Russian physiologist, Ivan Pavlov, in his laboratory. Standing second from the right, Pavlov's presence exudes an air of intellectual curiosity and dedication to scientific exploration. Born on September 14,1849, in Ryazan, Pavlov initially pursued training for the priesthood before redirecting his path towards natural science in St Petersburg. His groundbreaking experiments conducted in 1889 focused on unraveling the mechanism of digestion in dogs and revealed the significant role played by the autonomic nervous system. These pioneering studies earned him international recognition and culminated in a well-deserved Nobel Prize win for Medicine in 1904. However, it is Pavlov's subsequent work on conditioned reflexes that truly solidified his place as one of history's most influential figures. By associating a bell with mealtime and observing how dogs would salivate at its sound alone over time, he established the foundations of behaviorist psychology. This revolutionary research forever changed our understanding of learning processes and paved the way for further advancements within this field. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded not only of Ivan Pavlov's immense contributions to science but also of his unwavering pursuit to unlock nature's secrets through meticulous experimentation.
