Om forfatteren

Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, a Russian physiologist and psychologist, demonstrated, by his 62 years of active research, one model of the research career: making a major discovery by studying more and more about less and less. He first studied the neural mechanisms of blood circulation and digestion; then vis mere the mechanisms of digestion; and finally salivation. His studies of salivation led to his discovery of the conditioned reflex: a dog trained to associate feeding with the sounding of a bell would salivate when the bell was sounded, even though no food was made available. He received the Nobel Prize in 1904 for his work on the processes of digestion, but it was his further experiments in the operation of the conditioned reflex that made him an important figure in psychology. His work has had its greatest impact on behavioral psychologists, who concern themselves primarily with observable relationships between measurable stimuli and behavioral responses in human beings as well as in animals. They quickly saw that Pavlov's objective techniques could be used to establish laws of behavior, especially in the area of learning. Thus, Pavlov's concept of the conditioned reflex has become an important feature of learning theory. (Bowker Author Biography) vis mindre

Anmeldelser

This book is a collection of Pavlov’s contributions to physiology and neurology, and includes descriptions of his experiments on the digestive system. Some of the essays in this 1957 book were probably presented here in English for the first time, although there is no statement concerning the translation. Pavlov won the Nobel Prize for “Physiology or Medicine” in 1904 and his acceptance speech is one of the essays in this book. The speech is notable because in it Pavlov links fundamental principles of the physiology of digestion with his later work on conditioned response. There is also a brief autobiographical sketch, photographs of Pavlov and his home, and a concluding section, “Fragments of Statements at the Wednesday Gatherings,” which are transcripts of seminars that took place in 1934 and 1935. The seminar discussions are interesting because they reveal Pavlov’s theoretical disagreements with other notable physiologists.
There is no editorial attribution on the title page of the book, but a fifty-five page introduction by “Kh. S. Koshtoyants” summarizes the influences on Pavlov by earlier Russian physiologists and evaluates Pavlov’s impact on physiology and the importance of experimentation. The helpful endnotes, probably written by Koshtoyants, provide background, explain scientific terms, and identify other scientists mentioned in the essays.
In a very readable review of this book published in the journal, California Medicine in 1957, the reviewer Arthur Burton further explains Pavlov’s contributions in basic discoveries, surgical techniques, and the experimental method. Burton also states, “His [Pavlov’s] consistent philosophical position was that all behaviour could be explained on the basis of the soma. This led to a counterreaction and to the eventual understanding of the part emotion plays in such behaviour.”
