IVAN PETROVICH PAVLOV
( 1849 - 1936)
Pavlov was a Russian physiologist who won the 1904 Nobel prize in physiology or medicine for unraveling the mechanism of the digestive process and his work provided psychology with a more objective methodology and led to new methods of treating mental illness. Using dogs for experiments he established the idea of conditioned reflexes which for example, makes a pre conditioned dog salivate merely on hearing a bell, in expectation of food though it may not be actually there.
Pavlov demonstrated his theory of conditioned reflex in 1901. In 1920 he extended his theory of animal behaviour to human psychology. He invented new techniques in his work. He provided a foundation for modern gas troenterology and behaviourist school of psychology.
