Abstract
Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was a Russian Physiologist that was born in Ryazan. He was born into a Russian Orthodox family and was originally planning to follow in his father’s footsteps as a priest. His high-school training was received in an ecclesiastical seminary in Ryazan. He graduated afterwards from the Natural Sciihck Faculity of the University of St. Petersburg, and in 1879 obtained his M.D. degree from the Medico-Chirurgical Academy in that city. He became a professor of physiology in 1895 at the Imperial Military–Medical Academy in St. Petersburg, where he did research on the digestive process for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1904. Starting in 1901 and for the next 35 years, Pavlov studied dogs and their salivary reflexes. With experimentation, he discovered a higher order of learning. This was the beginning to his understanding the brain’s way of adapting to changing external environments. As a famous man in psychological history, Ivan Pavlov passed away in Leningrad on February 27, 1936.
According to the Nobel Foundation (1967), Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was born on September 14, 1849 in Ryazan, where his father, Peter Dmitrievich Pavlov was a village priest. He was born into a very religious family in which his father was a priest and his mother was the daughter of a priest (Saunders 2006). He was the oldest of eleven children, six of which died during childhood.
With help from his father, Ivan had acquired a lifelong love for physical labor and for learning. He loved to work with his father in gardens and orchards; this early interest in plants lasted his entire life. At the age of ten, Pavlov had a very serious fall that put him in the care of his grandfather before he began his schooling at the age of eleven at Ryazan Ecclesiastical High School. His grandfather encouraged him to read and write
