Y. P. Frolov: Pavlov and his School, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Originally published in 1937, Pavlov and his School provides fascinating biographical information about Pavlov himself and is a clear and concise account of the theory of conditioned reflexes demanding no extensive knowledge of nervous physiology. It shows by numerous examples from everyday life the application of Pavlov's teaching to subjects not generally associated with physiology.

To the specialist its account of the work of Pavlov's predecessors, which was not generally known, and of Pavlov's philosophy, should have particular interest, giving as it does a clear picture of the circumstances which led to the evolution of Pavlov's method of investigating higher nervous activity.

One of the most cited psychologists of the twentieth century, Pavlov's legacy lives on today in many forms, including through his studies of classical conditioning, which continue to be central to modern behaviour therapy.
