Pavlov on the Conditional Reflex

Papers, 1903-1936

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Pavlov's research was foundational to the twentieth-century understanding of physiology and psychology, yet much of his work remains untranslated from the original Russian language. In this book, Olga Yokoyama translates the third volume of Pavlov's Complete Works, as well as his last unpublished paper. The volume also contains the papers from the sixth edition of Twenty Years of Objective Study of the Higher Nervous Activity of Animals. His concept of the conditional reflex has influenced human thought far beyond physiology, raising philosophical questions of the mind and its relationship to the psyche, creativity, and individual freedom.
