Do you know Pavlov?

Ivan Pavlov was Russian physiologist.

Great. Do you know what is he famous for? What was named after him? (except of dogs:)

As I remembered most of his work involved research in temperament, conditioning and involuntary reflex actions. He prepared thesis "Centrifugal nerves of the heart" for which he was awarded Noble Prize (1904). Isn't it ?

What about the dogs?

(but yes, you have already answered your first question)

yeah, Pavlov's famous concept is "conditional reflex". He examined the rates of salivations among dogs.

(oh dear me why i wasn't getting the track , got some points )
