Research Paper On Ivan Pavlov
Ivan Pavlov
On September 14, 1849 a baby boy named Ivan Pavlov was born in Ryazan, Russia. Ivan would become one of the most influential psychologists of all time. In his early years he was educated at a religious school for high school and a seminary where he planned follow the family occupational path and become a priest.

Interestingly enough he didn’t care about spending a lot of money on nice things in fact he cared very little about material objects and most of his income when into funding his experiments so that he could do more research. In regards to his work he was a very patient scientist, he developed a citadel of science and managed large groups of other scientists. He would hold frequent meeting and conferences that allowed him to always be involved in the entire experimental process, as each experiment lasted for an extended amount of …show more content…
