Interest Inquiry Assignment

heroin. I did this interest inquiry assignment on I have been Pavlov

who was a rather influential character in physiology and psychology.

She seemed to be rather influential in the last chapter of her book.

I also primarily chose him because I believe he's very well known

and for the fact that he seemed to be a very big influence

on john Watson who was seemed to be a very prominent figure.

The last chapters that we read here.

I'm sorry about that.

So, just a little introduction about Pavlov.

Uh I forgot to mention this here, but he was actually born in Russia.

Uh he was born on September 14, 1849.

He was actually known for his study. His biggest best thing he's connected to now

is he was known for his study of classical conditioning.

That's the biggest thing is connected to now, I believe now

after that he connected his study of the classical conditioning,

I believe now it's called the Pavlov effect,

which is

the effect that happens.

I'll get into it here a little bit.

So someone Pavlov's inspirations,

we're dmitry epistle,

rive piece or if I'm not too sure how to pronounce it and I've been setting off.

So

here we go.

So, dmitry Pizza Rev was a Russian social critic and philosopher.

So I kind of found this rather interesting

that Pavlov was influenced by a philosopher.

Yeah,

not to mention, I think Pizza Rev was actually around the same age as Pavlov.

So that was rather interesting.

See that he was influenced by someone around the same age.

So Pizarro was um

advocated for liberation movements and support of natural sciences.

So things such as

um

sorry about that, I'm blanking here.

Biology, chemistry, biochemistry, I believe geology is in there as well.

I'm not too sure

which I'm assuming is why Pavlov saw him as a very big influential character.

Just due to the fact that he was supporting this in natural sciences.

So you're going to be the setting off.

So I haven't such an I was actually a Russian Russian physiologist. Um

it was considered by Pavlov as the biggest contributor of physiology

and psychology in Russia,

which is actually rather interesting now because

we don't really learn about such an off we learn more about

path of love.

So, I guess now you could say Pavlov kinda

took that title from him.

So when we went to a little bit of his, his works here.

So like I said before,

Pavlov was primarily most well known for his study of classical conditioning.

So,

originally his study of classical conditioning didn't

begin as a study of classical conditioning.

It originally began as a study on the subject of digestive digestive function

of dogs.

And it kind of turned into classical conditioning after

some observations Pavla was making about his environment actually,

which is rather interesting because this is one of the

biggest things that we know now is classical conditioning,

which is the, which turned into the Pavlov effect, which is,

well, he's primarily known for now.

So what Pavlov actually noticed here in his study

of classical conditioning or what turned into classical conditioning was

while studying the digestive function of dogs.

He noticed that whenever his assistant would come in

with the meat or the food for the dogs,

the dogs would actually begin to salivate

and restore this response.

That Pavlov got the idea to study what was now no classical conditioning.

So what I mean here by

we learned that with repeated stimulus it can be associated with the reaction which

later turned into a response after repeated simulate what I mean by that.

It sounds very confusing. I know

that's basically it has to do with association once

you begin to associate something with something else,

once you begin to associate that stimulus

with a reaction,

that stimulus will always cause that reaction.

So what I mean by that, that's pretty much the experiment went,

Pavlov introduced a metronome

two dogs

and originally started off as a neutral stimulus.

So it was just there constantly all the time.

But what he later did was he started introducing

the metronome as they were feeding the dogs.

And he continued this for I'm not too sure quite how long it was.

But

the dogs began associating that the note, the note, the noise

from the metronome with being fed.

So whenever they heard of the metronome, they began salivating.

So once you took away the food

regardless, regardless there was food or not if they heard the metronome,

they began to salivate.

This is what we know as classical conditioning now.

So he conditioned the response

by introducing a repeated stimulus.

That's what we know as classical conditioning now.

So, um, a little bit more about Pavlov,

he actually did not consider himself a psychologist,

He did not consider himself a psychologist.

The form was to ask Pavlov when he considered

himself as he actually considered himself as a physiologist.

He was actually known to be rather skeptical of the study of psychology.

I'm assuming that's primarily due to the fact that

psychology is still rather new at the time.

Um, but nonetheless, he actually helped develop the study of behaviorism

which I'm sure then influence was influenced by john what or which I'm sure then

influence john Watson who we know now to be a central figure in the study of

behavior. He thought that behavior should be the number one focus of psychology

and I actually believe that john Watson

um excited Pavlov quite a bit and that a lot of his research, I should believe that.

And the article that we read and our for our discussion,

john Watson mentions Pavlov, I'm not too sure.

So here we go into a little bit.

So one of the biggest that one of the other

biggest things that Pavlov actually found was taste aversion,

which goes into his behavioral

psychology.

So what this pretty much was,

was the fact that he found that

when he, when he caused. So he, what probably happened was that he drugged meat.

And gave it to wolves or dogs, I believe. I'm not too sure what it was. Wolves here.

He promised he drugged meat and the drugs and the meat will make the walls nauseous,

sick, sleepy

pretty much so much that the wolves actually began to lose a taste for it.

So then after some time when she noticed the wolves

that she began to stop stop eating the drug meet,

she introduced them to what the meat would come from.

So sheep lamb, I don't know what martin comes from, to be quite honest with you.

And through this,

he actually found that the wolves have completely lost the taste of sheep and lamb,

which is rather

interesting because that's really pretty much think wolves, you know,

she's a wolf among sheep

and that's what we, that's what we see the walls eating.

So through this study here, she found that, you know,

you can

through through the drum through making basically this meat and edible to them

that they don't even want it directly from the source anymore.

They don't want it at all,

which pretty much just goes into the fact

that he completely just changed their behavior.

He just changed, but he controlled their behavior, which I believe is one of the

the biggest uh the idea is behind a behavioral psychology.

And then here

three We're back to,

She thinks it's about it here, we're gonna go into some of the references here.

Nothing too crazy.

I think there's four reference at four or 5 references. There's four.

Um awesome. Thank you for listening. I really hope this was helpful.

If there's anything else I missed out, please let me know.
