Known for “classical conditioning.”
Created the theory of the conditioned and unconditioned stimulus. Tested his theory mainly on dogs.
His research into the digestion guided him to a science of conditioned reflexes.
Reflex Regulation: "Psychic secretion,” arose. Caused by food stimuli at a distance from the dog.
Conditioned Stimulus: Something normally would not cause a reaction, but is associated with something else that causes one.
Unconditioned Stimulus: Something that normally causes a reaction.
Believed if you connect the two, you are able to train the brain to do certain things. If he repeated an unconditioned stimulus too many times, the brain would not remember what it was associated with initially.
Therefore the brain would produce no reaction.
The subject’s thoughts, feelings and emotions were taken into consideration while explaining its behavior.
