Profile of Ivan Pavlov was born on September 14, 1849 in the village of Ryazan, Russia, the son of Peter Dmitrievich Pavlov, who was the village priest. Because he was the son of a priest he went to church school and enrolled in a theology seminar. As the son of a preacher Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was going to follow in his father’s footsteps, that was until he read a book by Charles Darwin called “The Origin of Species” After reading this book Ivan Pavlov dropped out of his theological studies and enrolled in a Natural Science program in the University of St-Petersburg. After enrolling in the University of St-Petersburg Ivan Petrovich Pavlov discovered his passion, physiology. Physiology is the branch of biology dealing with the functions and activities of living organisms and their body parts, including all physical and chemical processes. It was here that Ivan Pavlov in collaboration with a fellow classmate wrote his first paper on “The Physiology of the Pancreatic Nerves” Ivan Pavlov received his first gold medal for this paper. This however is not the only gold medal that Ivan received; he went on to winning the Nobel Prize in Medicine/ Physiology in 1904 “in recognition of his work on the physiology of digestion, through which knowledge on vital aspects of the subject have been transformed and enlarged” Nobelprize.org. During his 1904 Nobel Prize address he presented his theory on Classic Conditioning. Ivan Pavlov was also elected as the Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1907, given an honorary doctorate at Cambridge University in 1912, and awarded the Order of the Legion of Honour in 1915. But these were not the studies that made him famous in the psychology world; it was his study of the canine digest... ... middle of paper ... ...dwich. But I did eat the food from Johnny Rockets right before I started throwing up. So I paired the food from Johnny Rockets with throwing up and the feeling of nausea, and because food is a primary reinforce it only took one time for me to pair nausea and food poisoning with Johnny Rockets. My conditioned response to Johnny Rockets is nauseated feeling. Works Cited • "Ivan Pavlov - Biography".

    Pavlov found that “a stimulus which was neutral to itself had been superimposed upon the action of the inborn alimentary reflex. We observed that, after several repetitions of the combined stimulation, the sounds of the metronome had had acquired the property of stimulation salivary secretion.” This means that the sound of the metronome was now a conditioned stimulus for the response of salivation which was found to also be a conditioned stimulus. Pavlov wanted to try different neutral stimulus and unconditioned stimulus to see if the same results would occur. This time to expose the dogs to a vanilla scent and subsequently put a lemon in their mouth causing their mouth to salivate. The process was repeated multiple times, twenty be exact. After the twenty presentations of the vanilla scent and the lemon pair, when they would present the vanilla smell it would cause the learned habit, saliva to start forming. The next test was a visual one. In this test the subjects were presented to a rotating object and then food, which of course caused the dog to

    Ivan Petrovich Pavlov's life was one of triumph in spite of tragedy; nevertheless he lived life on his on terms. While a child, he was involved in an accident that prevented him from beginning school until he was 11 years old. Yet, still had the wherewithal to abandon theological seminary at the age of 21 to pursue physiology. The son of an Orthodox priest, he was ironically diverted from becoming a second-generation clergy, by the works of Charles Darwin and Russian physiologist Ivan Sechenov, which he read while in seminary. Even his marriage was not spared the cyclic heartbreak then elation pattern that appeared to prevail in his life. He married Seraphima Karchevskaya, with whom he had six children. Of their six children, two died prematurely, the first of a miscarriage, the second while as a young child. Yet, despite the odds to the contrary, one of the surviving children followed their father's career path and made his own reputation in physics. Pavlov's love of physiology apparently made a lasting impression.

    The strength of classical conditioning is that it can help to explain all aspects of human behavior. Any of behavior can broke down into stimulus-response association, so that according to the classical conditioning, conditioned stimulus will lead conditioned response to occur, then the scientist can observe and determine the behavior (McLeod, 2014). In the case of Pavlovian conditioning, he found that when the conditioned stimulus (bell) was paired with an unconditioned stimulus (food) was presented to the dog, it would start to salivate. After a number of repeated this procedures, Pavlov tried to ring his bell by its own...
