Detailed explanation-1: -Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (1849–1936) was a physiologist, not a psychologist. During the 1890s, Russian physiologist, Ivan Pavlov was researching salivation in dogs in response to being fed. He inserted a small test tube into the cheek of each dog to measure saliva when the dogs were fed (with a powder made from meat).
Detailed explanation-2: -What did Ivan Pavlov study? Ivan Pavlov gave up studying theology to enter the University of St. Petersburg, where he studied chemistry and physiology.
Detailed explanation-3: -Brief History. In 1904, Ivan Pavlov was awarded the Nobel prize in medicine for his pioneering work on the physiology of digestion. Pavlov primarily studied the process of digestion in dogs. This early research set the stage for the discovery of a learning process that would come to be known as classical conditioning.
Detailed explanation-4: -Classical conditioning was first studied in detail by Ivan Pavlov, who conducted experiments with dogs and published his findings in 1897. During the Russian physiologist’s study of digestion, Pavlov observed that the dogs serving as his subjects drooled when they were being served meat.
