Ivan Pavlov: Founder of Conditioned Reflexes Background On September 14, 1849, Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was born in Ryazan, Russia. Son of Peter Dmitrievich Pavlov and Varvara Ivanovna Uspenskaya, Ivan was the oldest of eleven siblings in his religious household. His father, Peter, was a village priest and his mother, Varvara, was a housewife. Ivan went to a church school where he studied theology until his interests pursued him to study scientific pursuit. As a young boy, his biggest inspirations were D.I. Pisarev, I.M. Sechenov, and Charles Darwin. Rather than pursuing a career in religion, Ivan went on to enroll at the University of St. Petersburg in 1870 where he studied physiology and chemistry. Graduating with a degree in 1875 of…

behavioral aspect of phychology is very important to understanding how people act. “Ivan Pavlov was the Russian physiologist that was able to demonstrate that dogs could associate something as neutral such as the ring of a bell could trigger the salvation of a dog.” (Hockenbarry) This was a very immense contribution to phycology because it was able to show future psychologists that people are also able to connect a neutral object with an upcoming event. A person may associate the siren of a…

Ivan Pavlov who was a Russian physiologist discovered classical conditioning around 1900. This unique type of learning triggered self-determination and got his interest in finding the conditions that surround classical conditioning. The classical conditioning consists of four elements which are the unconditioned stimulus (UCS), unconditioned response (UCR), conditioned stimulus (CS), conditioned response (CR). Pavlov discovered that even if the dog didn’t have food it would drool. Something…

wanted to talk a little more about Pavlov. I find Pavlov and his research very interesting, and I find it even more interesting that people only think of Pavlov for his theories of conditioning. There are many more things that make up Pavlov’s contribution to psychology, including other psychologists that we would not even know about without Pavlov. This topic fits into this class because the entire section of 3.2 is about Pavlov. I am hoping that this will bring up some new information about…

Ivan Pavlov is portrayed as a principled person who does what he has passion. At his young age, he was introduced to religion school and later a theological seminar to follow the steps of his father who was a village priest (Fields, 2006). However, since this was not part of his passion, at 21 years, he abandoned religious studies following the inspiration of D. I. Pisarev an eminent Russian literary critic and I. M. Sechenov who was the father of Russian physiology (Todes, 2000). He then…

He had a large family in which he was the oldest, healthiest sibbling. His father was a priest. Pavlov was very much like his father. They were both very motivated to being successful. Ivan Pavlov started school at Ryazan Ecclesiastical High School. He became interested in theology, but after learning about Charles Darwin, Pavlov decided to transfer to the University of St. Petersburg to learn about natural science. During his third year at the university, Pavlov decided to become a…

(Psychology, a Journey, 2014). Operant conditioning can be used in the form of discipline for students. Discipline is important for children to develop and succeed. Discipline is usually thought of as being negative but that is not always true. Skinners theory operant conditioning uses both positive and negative reinforcement to discourage unwanted behavior. It is also used to reinforce appropriate behavior. Because every action has a consequence, when the consequence is positive, the…

The behaviorist theory considers a full range of psychological and social phenomena to explain how do organisms learn or acquire behavior. Among some of the main components of behaviorism it can be mentioned classical and operant conditioning, stimulus-response, reinforcements and punishments, objective measure, social learning, and reductionism (the notion that human behavior can be explained by breaking it down into smaller elements), (Khan, 2013; McLeod, 2013). Ivan Pavlov, John Watson,…
