After his classic work on the digestive system which won him the Nobel Prize in 1904, Pavlov planned his epoch-making experiments on salivary and gastric secretion by means of a gastric fistula. These experiments and other investigations on higher nervous activity over the next thirty-five years have had a profound impact on physiology as well as psychology. One of the key results of his work was the postulation and verification of the conditioned reflex which is reported in the present monograph.
