This antiquarian volume contains Y. P. Frolov’s 1938 treatise, “Pavlov and His School - The Theory of Conditioned Reflexes”. Petrovich Pavlov (1849–1936) was a Russian physiologist famous for his work in classical conditioning, and his namesake; ‘Pavlov’s Dog’. He spent his life studying physiology and science, and made numerous significant discoveries. For his pioneering work, Pavlov was awarded the 1904 Nobel Prize for Physiology. A detailed and insightful treatment of the subject, “Pavlov and His School - The Theory of Conditioned Reflexes” is highly recommended for those with an interest in classical conditioning, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
