Frederick Banting’s main success was becoming the co-discoverer of insulin, but it was not his first major accomplishment. During the first world war, a heroic sacrifice earned him the Military Cross. As a student, Banting enlisted in the Canadian Army Medical Corps and after graduation, was sent to Europe to serve as a medical officer. In the last days of the war, seriously injured and

In the article, “It’s Not Just About Salivating Dogs!” the author, Roger R. Hock, talks about Ivan Petrovich Pavlov and his research and discoveries of classical conditioning. The article starts off by talking about how Pavlov technically wasn’t even a psychologist before his remarkable discoveries, he was actually a physiologist. Because Psychology was a new and untouched science, Pavlov made a huge risk in his career by switching to become a psychologist (Hock, 2009, p. 66).

Our understanding of classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning has allowed us to unlock many of the answers we sought to learn about human behavior. Classical conditioning is a technique of behavioral training, coined by Ivan Pavlov, which basically states that an organism learns through establishing associations between different events and stimuli. This helps us understand human behavior in an assortment of ways. It makes it clear that almost everything we do is based on patterns of stimulus and response. For example, if you were bitten aggressively by a dog as a child, you may be still scared of dogs today. That is because the dog caused you pain, which in turn caused you have anxiety towards dogs.

Classical conditioning is a type of associative learning which occurs when two stimuli are paired together repetitively and therefore become associated with each other eventually producing the same response. Classical conditioning was developed from the findings of Ivan Pavlov to account for associations between neutral stimuli and reflexive behavior such as salivation. Pavlov (1927) accidently discovered that dogs began to salivate before they had tasted their food. To support his theory, he carried out experiments using dogs which involved measuring the amount of saliva they produced. In his experiments, food started off as an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) which produced salivation, an unconditioned response (UCR). They are both unconditioned as they occur naturally without being learned. The dogs were presented with a bell (NS), this provided no salivation. The bell and food were presented together and after many trails an

Classical conditioning is a form of learning that is taught to us through experiences we encounter in our lives. It involves outside stimuli to trigger the condition we have learned to expect. For example, the sound of a lunch bell would trigger our stomach to start growling soon after hearing the bell ring. The expectation of food to come soon after hearing the bell and satisfy our hunger is what makes our stomach growl. This is something learned over time. Expectations can be both good and bad. Sometimes these negative experiences cause us to have certain behaviors when we are reminded of such an event.

Humberto Fernández-Morán Villalobos (1924-1999) was a physician, biophysical, professor and researcher. A native of Venezuela, he earned his medical degree from the University of Munich in 1944. He founded the Venezuelan Institute for Neurological and Brain Studies and invented the diamond scalpel in 1955 to cut very thin samples of biological tissues and metals. In 1958 he left Venezuela and took a position at the University of Chicago where he devoted his career to the development of electron microscopy, cryomicroscopy, and ultramicrotomes. Fernández-Moran also worked at NASA in 1965-1969 doing investigations about “Space Related Molecular Biology, including Considerations of the Molecular Organization of Extraterrestrial Matter.” Another project he worked on at NASA was “Investigations in Space-Related Molecular Biology Including Considerations of-the Molecular Organization in Luster Sounding -Rocket Program.” Dr. Fernandez-Moran was granted the John Scott Award

2. Ivan Pavlov was a Russian scientist that studied animal digestion. He was studying what triggered dogs to salivate. He thought it would be a simple study because he believed that dogs drool when presented with food because the saliva helps break down the food. He then realized that dogs salivate more than what he thought. He realized that the individuals that fed the dogs wore labcoats and that the dog started drooling when they saw a lab coats even if there wasn't food. He then ran a study where he

The “Early Life and Career” of John Pemberton stated that he was born on January 8, 1831 in Knoxville, in Crawford County. Pemberton grew up and attended the local schools in Rome. His family lived there almost thirty years. He studied medicine and pharmaceutical practices at the Reform Medical College of Georgia in Macon. In 1850, at age nineteen, he was licensed to practice with Thomsonian medicine and the Botanic Principles. And such pharmaceutical practitioners during that time relied heavily on herbal remedies and on purifying the body of toxins that seemed commonly suspicious to the general public. Pemberton, “otherwise known as Doc,” practiced medicine and surgical prodecures first in Rome along with the surrounding areas and then afterwards in Columbia. In 1855 he established a wholesale retail drug business specializing in material media. Before the Civil War he acquired a graduate degree in pharmacy, but the exact date and place are unknown. Pemberton and the Columbus Company were part of the analytical and manufacturing laboratories which were unique in the south. While Pemberton had one great obsession which was to create medicine and the perfect beverage, he although invented a lot of patent medicines and owned a successful chemist’s store. He wanted to do something more, something bigger. At age fifty, his chief interest in life was to patent a so-called medicated drink which could not only make him a fortune but also secure a place in scientific history

Classical conditioning refers to the learning through association. It involves learning a new behavior through the process of association

During Pavlov’s study he found that when his dog saw the person who fed him, he would salivate without having yet

After finishing studies at the church Pavlov began studies in Physiology at the age of twenty-one, thereafter at the age of thirty Pavlov completed his education at the Academy of Medical Surgery; then in 1883 Pavlov earned his doctorate degree and was also a phenomenal surgeon, which eventually helped him immensely with this research and surgical procedures.

Classical conditioning says that we learn behaviours by associating the response to the stimulus. An example of this can be found from the work of Ivan Pavlov. In the 1890s Pavlov, a Russian physiologist, carried out some experiments with a dogs. He noticed that when a dog eats food, they salivate: this is an unconditional response to an

Classical conditioning was stumbled upon by a Russian physiologist, Ivan Pavlov. His unexpected discovery led him to win a rightfully earned Noble Prize. Classical conditioning is defined as “a form of learning in which reflex responses are associated with new stimuli (Coon & Mitterer, 2016, p. 201).” This form of learning is also called Pavlovian conditioning or respondent conditioning. He found a connection between the stimuli for his dogs’ salivation during his experiment. To begin explaining classical conditioning, it is best to explain how Pavlov conducted his research. He began his experiment by ringing a bell, which was a neutral stimulus (NS) for his dogs. A neutral stimulus is defined as “a stimulus that does not evoke a response (Coon & Mitterer, 2016, p. 201).” Directly after, he put meat

Johann Bernoulli’s two sons, which were good friends of Leonhard Euler, had convinced him to study physiology. The application of his advancement in mathematics made it much easier to comprehend. He was able to attend the lectures of the utmost elite professors at the University of Basel. After much research in the field of physiology, he decided
