Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) was a Russian physiologist and behavioural scientist known for his experiments on classical conditioning. In his studies with dogs, he discovered that animals can be conditioned to repeated stimuli, such as the sound of a bell that triggers salivation. These ‘Pavlovian reflexes’ became fundamental to behavioural research and the understanding of learning processes. Pavlov’s work had a lasting influence on psychology and neuroscience worldwide.
