Iván Pávlov

Iván Pávlov, Russian Physiology, well-Known for the classical conditioning.

Let's start with his biography that He was born in Ryazan, Russia in 1849.  Always had a curious mind and he liked the animals and nature. When growing up he wanted to be priest and study theology.

But later, he was interested for Darwin studies, and he is motivated to study natural science.

In the university studying, a professor influenced him to study Physiology and followed that path. Always was good student.

His most important discovery were experiment with dogs, he help a proved the associative learning in people and animals. In the experiment he was look how the dog salivated at the sound of a bell without food that was previously presented. Demonstrated how there was a learning. The Pavlovian Conditioning  very important to study behaviors.

Ending, on 1935 was recognized how the most important physiology of the world. In 1936 he die, at the age of 86 year old.

I like it for the contribution he made to psychology to know how they behave in the face of new learning.
