Conditioned Reflexes Kindle Edition

Pavlov and conditioning are both poorly understood and misrepresented in today's teaching. Learning theory is not in fact the intellectual descendant of Pavlov's work. Work of his quality probably has never been duplicated since. Read and see.

An interesting book. However, my being an animal lover, I found the treatment of the dogs very disturbing. I don't feel the knowledge gained was worth the extremely cruel treatment the animals were subjected to. I don't recommend this book to anyone who has a respect for animal life.

This book is exactly what you bargain for: a gateway into the mind of a great scientist. Pavlov work is usually simplified into readily digested views, usually popularized during high school, but here is the chance to venture through his efforts first hand. Skinner, Freud and many others owe a great deal to his investigations, and now you can scrutinize them yourself. No better way to initiate your studies on behaviorism.

This book is a classic of neurosciences the translation from Russian is clearly understandable. I hada copy that I lost and was very happy that I could get this.

Attention il faut un excellent niveau d'anglais pour lire ce recueil d'expérimentation très pointu mais très intéressant. Il permet de mieux comprendre les travaux futures en science du comportement humain et animal.
