Ivan Pavlov: Works
built 792 days ago
Pavlov, who died of pneumonia in 1936, tried to apply his ideas to psychiatry, and was influential enough to be considered one of the founders of Russian psychiatry, and he remains a dominant figure in Russian psychology. Although he never considered himself a psychologist, Pavlov's ultimate belief in conditioning as the fundamental unit of learning in humans and animals provided one of the cornerstones of the behaviorist school of psychology in the United States. It is ironic that, although Pavlov was a staunch critic of communism, in the late 1920s Joseph Stalin (1879-1953) chose Pavlov's work as the basis for a new Soviet psychology. Pavlov's books include Lectures on the Work of the Principal Digestive Glands (1897), Lectures on Conditioned Reflexes (1928), and Conditioned Reflexes and Psychiatry (1941).

Vinyl-only release that represents one of the first works from Ivan Pavlov, recorded in Nov. '97 to August '98. Fourth part in the Raster Static Series, packaged in a clear plastic sleeve, with a gold folded art sheet, black vinyl. "COH aka Ivan Pavlov, actually born in Russia -- lives and works in Sweden, his cultural roots are in his mother country -- that means he himself feels more a rapport to the Russian avantgarde than to the Western rock-pop tradition. As a qualified acoustic coupler he is very involved in developing different possibilities for soundsynthese-types; he has a way to compose rare tones to an ensemble which shows more of a lyrical than comic association (ie. not 'artificial intelligence'). Meanwhile, his live acts can be seen in Germany.

By the time of the Russian and Bolshevik revolutions in 1917, Pavlov was a world-renowned scientist. He was subsequently courted by the new regime, which wanted to build up Soviet science. In the years immediately after the revolutions Pavlov frequently denounced the Bolsheviks and their ideology, and at one period considered emigrating. He was... offered privileges for himself and his colleagues that permitted him to continue working, and by the 1930s had apparently reconciled himself to living in Soviet Russia, particularly through his friendship with Nikolai Bukharin. He continued nonetheless to be a critic of the government, and was subject to secret police surveillance for many years up to his death in 1936.

After graduating from the University of St. Petersburg, Pavlov entered the Military Medical Academy in 1881. He worked there as a laboratory assistant for two years. In 1877, while still at the academy, he published his first work. It was about the regulation of the circulation of blood by reflexes (any unconscious or involuntary action of the body). Two years later he completed his course at the academy. He successfully competed in an examination that was given to the entire school.

Pavlov's second independent work centered around digestion. He started studying digestion as early as 1879, and it was his major focus from 1890 to 1897. His work was an accumulation of observations on the nervous control of one organ system through the method of chronic experiment. The study of digestion involved developing "fistulas" through which secretions from salivary glands, stomach, the pancreas, and small intestine could be collected. His technique was truly unique in that he did not cut the nerve supply nor contaminate the secretions with food.

Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was born on September 14, 1849 in the village of Ryazan, Russia, the son of Peter Dmitrievich Pavlov, who was the village priest. Like most other children from Ryazan, he went to the Church school, and was later was enrolled in a theological seminary. It was after reading The Origin of the Species by Charles Darwin, and the works of Russian physiologist I. M. Sechenov that Pavlov decided to abandon his theological studies and become a man of science. He left the seminary in favor of the University of St-Petersburg, where he enrolled in the Natural Sciences program.
